Part: Handlebar Switch Box (Right Side with Dual Throttle Cable) for Honda CB360, CL360 Scrambler, CJ360 / CB500T / CB550K, CB550F / CB750 K3, K4, K5, CB750F motorcycles.
Why You Need This: The right-side handlebar switch box on the Honda B360, CL360 Scrambler, CJ360 / CB500T / CB550K, CB550F / CB750 K3, K4, K5, or CB750F has a lot of functions and purpose-built into it. Sure it houses the kill switch, headlight on/off control, and the electric start button, but it also is the housing for the throttle control and mounts for the dual throttle cables found on the CB360. Finding a clean used original switch box has been tough to get for many years now, but this reproduction right side handlebar switch box looks and works just like the original one that came on your bike when it rolled out of the factory. Add the nylon throttle sleeve and a pair of throttle cables to the mix and take back control of your bike. These particular switch boxes are notched on the bottom half of the casting allowing you to run the wires externally on your handlebars (such as our superbike bars) or the wires can be run internally like on the original Honda handlebars.
Note for CJ360 / CL360 Models: This right-side handlebar switch box fits the CB360 with the front disk brake seamlessly. If you have a Honda CL360 or CJ360 the switch box on your bike is different. The CJ 360/ CL360 (and some very early CB360 models) use a front drum brake with the brake lever perch built into the lower half of the switch box (it also houses the brake light switch ). There are two options to make this part work: 1) Re-use your existing lower half of the original switch box in conjunction with this new upper. 2) Use this switch box as it is and add a separate brake perch assembly.
Note for Later CB360 and CB500T Models: These motorcycles came wired from the factory with an always-on headlight set up but can be modified to run this earlier style switch. Follow the attached wiring diagram in the images and the special installation note at the bottom when installing this switch on these motorcycles.
Installation Tip: Use a piece of string to pull the wires through the factory handlebars when installing. A bit of window cleaner or soapy water will help lubricate the wires as you are pulling them through the inside of the handlebars. Make sure to align the mounting pin in the original Honda bars. Lubricate the nylon throttle sleeve with a mixture of light oil and grease in a slurry to keep the throttle assembly working butter smooth.
Switch Wiring Configuration: The wiring of these switches is slightly different from the original factory unit.
#2064 Breakdown:
Harness wire color...to...Switch wire color (^ indicates a connection to above wire)
Yellow/Red............................................Yellow/Red (Starter solenoid)
Green/Red............................................Green/Red: (Starter Safety Switch @ clutch lever - or simply ground if no SSS)
^.....Black (If changing from an always-on headlight switch connect instead to black 12v+ connection)
Black/White...........................................Black/White (switched power to Ignition coils)
Black.....................................................Black (Ignition kill switch)
^.....Brown/White (headlight on/off - tie to existing black if an extra lead is not present)
Black/Red.............................................Black/Red* (to fuse box for front end power & tail light)
Brown/Blue (or Black/Brown).....^
Yellow..............................White/Yellow (or white)..(tie together and terminate at harness)
The original switch had two black 12V+, as well as the yellow and white/yellow wires going to the switch to jump the two sides of the stator together when the headlight was turned on. These should be joined together thus bypassing the switch and activating both sides of the stator coil at all times.
Later CB360 and CB500T Models: The Early CB360 style switches with a headlight on-off switch on the right-hand switch used a grounding circuit to activate the starter solenoid. In the later style switches with an always headlight circuit, this was switched to a +12v momentary switch. Therefore when making the conversion to our #2064 switch you will need to connect the Green/Red wire coming off the other side of the starter button to a black 12v+ connection.
