While they both looked good they in fact were shite. Both had cracks and stripped screw threads and would not stay secure on the handlebars. I went through the usual ebay crap and crap is what was out there for muy deniro. Sun faded and baked switches that neary crumbled in my hands. Innards were salvaged for springs and bearings but the rest was crap.
So I searched for a switch that was close to the stock CBX switch. I came up with one that Honda still stocks.
It is very close sans red connector, the H,P and dot above the starter button and the black wire. The stock CBX switch has two black wires to one spade. This replacement only has one wire.
The stock connector:
So I bought a switch and removed the red connector,cut off the male spades and then attached the B9 male spades to it and assembled it all into the CBX white 9P connector.
I found the B9 male spades at Z1 enterprises, http://www.z1enterprises.com/Terminal-P ... -1681.aspx
I used a proper crimping tool found locally"
End result:
I then assembled these spades into the proper slots of the 9P connector, I marked the connector and took pictures with my cell phone to assure correct assembly, this is the old switch wiring:
End result on the Travesty:
Some may ask how to get the male spades out of the 9P connector, I used a small flat blade eyeglass screw driver to depress the tang and pull the spade out:
I haven't come up with a solution for the left handlebar switch yet.
