Question to all you that will obviously know more than me.... not hard.

Is there a way to change a manual indicator switch off an older bike to the press off type? thats all the technical speak in my vocab after several Jimmy's...

Cheers

I'd imagine you just replace the hole unit on the LHS Handle bar..

Then it's just down to wiring it back up again.


But I could be wrong.

You could yank out the switch and just superglue a button in there and reatach wires until it looks like it might work.

But, I am wrong so, don't do that.

Agree with Dan - you should be able to find a switch block with a push off and just rewire it up.
ty

Dans pretty right I'd say.
The auto cancel type thingy is all in the switch.




mario

id go with quarkz..but then again i AM dodgy...

its honestly impossible to say on the size thing without seeing both the switches opened up, but i'd guess that the size of the push-cancel one would be a bit bigger, simply as there's a bit more "mechanical" stuff going on.

Find out the diameter of your handlebars and width of your switchblock and try and locate a switchblock with the required facilities that fits yours.

last switchblock i bought cost me about $40 from a wrecker (i put a late 70's rhs switchblock on a '71 cb250, i then had a killswitch that worked

u may even need to get different clip ons?? depending on how much space, and wot kinda diameter u have to work with??maybe one of these nerds with web links can help?? then wen uve done ur research, off to the wreckers...
can u fix it with bubble gum or duct tape?? im good & handy with the duct tape!!

as long as the wiring from the old unit matches the wiring of the new unit u should be able to do a direct swap or u might have to get a multimeter and see what wires go where.
