1977 Z1000A1 Switchgear

Hi,

In my bike’s dim and distant past a previous owner decided to fit different handlebars which wouldn’t accept the wiring running through them so he cut a large scallop out of the OEM switchgear on both sides to allow the wiring to exit.

To rectify this problem I am looking for a pair of OEM bottom switchgear halves or complete units so that I can run the wires down the original handlebars which thankfully came with the bike.

If you can help, please send me a PM.

My switches work fine but ideally I just need a good pair of lower half bodies that haven’t been modified.

Many thanks.

I would think 650 ones would be the same. So you could broaden your search with more chane of success. Although I would just fill the new scollops with plastic metal or jb weld or something. Gotta to be easier and shed loads cheaper than finding the new bits.

Hi r3sc
as you mentioned in your post: a different handlebar was fitted...it happened a lot of times in the past so the original undamaged switchgear halves are difficult to find.
As Warren mentioned, you could try to find those of a Z650, you never know if you're lucky until you tried it.
