Does anyone know if/where I can get reproduction handlebar switches and ignition coils for my H1E?

If you are looking for parts you should post in the parts wanted section.
42sixHemi has a bunch of used & some new parts.He is not on here very often but give him a shout & be patient.
reproduction decals has new parts.You will find them both listed in the business section.
Most of the guys here hoard parts,but when they get to know you they will usually help out

I figured I'd post in here because I'm looking for a source of new parts, not old ones. I've checked every vintage Kawi bike parts site I know of, and I could only find these on webike. Diablo doesn't have these listed but it may be worth a call.
For electrical I never bother with old parts if I can get away with it.

That one you listed is supposed to be for a "points" iggy triple: 250, 350 or 400. I can tell you it is incorrect for those bikes - in many ways (how the kill switch grounds, what the connectors look like etc). So it begs the question: would it work for a CDI triple? Maybe, but I still think it will need to be modified.

I haven't seen reproduction switches for the 74 "E". That doesn't mean they don't exist though. They look different than the newer model bikes. The left switch has the same connector as the newer bikes. The right switch has differences. Not sure if it can be made to work but its a possibility. link
You will have to look at your harness connectors to be sure what you have and what you need. I can take pictures of the connectors on Tuesday night if needed.

So after a bit of digging, the left side H1E one is available, and then that S series one. I dont think the S series one will work. I looked at the wiring diagrams and they're a little too different. Whether it goes to ground or not wouldn't matter since its just a switch, btu the switch internals are different. The right side one in the link from japan says its for a H1 and KH500. I looked at the wiring diagrams for the H1E and KH500 and it appears they could be interchanged. The KH500 operated in the same way as my KZ, so I could try the KZ one first.

Thanks for the offer of a picture, but I don't think the connectors matetr much. Its a 4P and a bullet on each, acoording to the diagrams. I have lots of those.

Thanks for the offer of a picture, but I don't think the connectors matetr much. Its a 4P and a bullet on each, acoording to the diagrams. I have lots of those. The aftermarket controls I am aware of are made for the Euro market with additional switch/wiring. If not mistaken (and I may be), they were patterned from KH250 controls.... points ignition. Assuming that to be the case... the kill switch must be in the "on" position for it to work on CDI bikes (and wired appropriately). They will work on US bikes but be aware of the differences. Look at Euro spec wiring diagram. This control switch, although EURO, is wired for CDI: www.kawasakitripleparts.com/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=switch&category_id=0&description=1&model=1&product_id=122Edit: I was wrong about the pattern.... it was from a KH400, not 250. "The RH switch that many vendors offer was patterned from a Euro KH400 OEM switch. It has a PO position that was not wired on US models. The kill switch is for a CDI system and not points. On a CDI system the "OFF" position connects a ground to the CDI and "RUN" position connects nothing. On a points system the "OFF" position connects to nothing and the "RUN" position connects battery voltage to the ignition coils. Many vendors mistakenly say the fit both points and CDI models which is wrong and wiring is there for for the PO that isn't used on US models. For someone not familiar with wiring it is easy to produce smoke or worse when using the repo switch." |
