Honda GL1000 Goldwing restoration part 13 

Amazing how they manage to fit all of the gubbins inside those switches 🤣. Looking forward to your next instalment.

The U.S. Dept. of Transportation mandated motorcycles to have always-on headlights, hence the no-switch variant for the U.S.

Some of those bigger brackets hold the wires down inside the switch, I bought a nice switch from Germany which was look exactly the same it was oem , but when I tried to fit it , it had like 2 less wires the big yellows I think . Watch out for the tiny springs in the left one. Cheers

The switch you are working on has come from a bike where the wiring harness is passed through a hole into the handlebars & has been modified to allow wire to run alongside !!!!!

Are you using JIS screwdrivers..they are slightly different than Phillips..Hondas use them ..im sure you know what i mean
