    Turn Signal Contact Point ***HELP***

    Good afternoon everyone,

    I have a 78 GS 750 and had a little hickup with the turn indicator contact point. Inside the control hub there is a little switch that makes the turn signals go on and off.

    It is comprised of a little bearing, spring, metal clip and held together by a metal bracket. I had to fix the indicator arm but when I took it all apart, I tried to be real carful but unfortunatly the spring poped off and I lost the bearing and contact clip. I still have the spring, how I found that is beyond me.

    My question is does anyone know where I can get the functioning parts of the turn indicator switch. I tried bike bandit and all they have is just the switch arm.

    I could probably fabricate something but any help would be appreciated.

      my 79 signal switch just went to crap as well. I replace it with the left control off of a 2006 GSXR 1000.

      It is not a straight swap, but pretty close. Most of the wires are exactly the same colour even. I just got a copy of the schematics for both bikes and matched it all up, substituting my harness connector for the GSXR.

      The only thing I would note is that the wiring seamed a little lighter on the GSXR. I have upgraded my lights and horn to run off of relays so it didnt matter to me. I had also bypassed the stator cutoff attached to the light switch.

      It looks far nicer, gives you 4 way flashers, and a "push to pass" switch for your high beam.

      You might check on alpha sports or bike bandit for the parts. I looked on Alpha I believe, and I think they were individually listed.

      EDIT: Nope, just checked alpha, no joy. - I will check wehn I get home, but I think I turfed the parts from mine. There is just a small possibility that the small part you need is in my tank bag.

              I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                  no joy on the contact, but I do have the ARM here, if you need it, I will take a pic so you can verify it is what you need. I will be in Maine tomorrow, so can send it via post office to you.

                  Its all yours if you need it!
