    Moving the ignition key

    Im moving the ignition key, and need a new type. The original is to big, and it is worn out.

    I have been looking on ebay, but not sure what type will fit my GSX750E 1981 model.

    Anyone who can help?

    Can I use this one?

    I like toggle switches, but you can use that one.

            I believe your 750 has one pair of wires for the lights, and another for the ignition. The one you originlly linked looks to be the same. It's just like a DPST, but with a key.

            I just hate keys.

              With just a couple small wiring mods, just about ANY key will work.

              In the stock wiring, the tail light is switched by the ignition key, so you can choose whether to light it in the ON position or the PARK position. If you choose to not illuminate the tail light in the PARK position (most of us don't use it anytway), any simple ON/OFF switch will work. If you choose one that is too small to handle 15 amps, you can use it to activate a relay that can handle it.
