Right Controls, Start/Kill, Modern replacement?

[80gs1000e]

I'm wanting to update the right side controls on my 80gs1000e.

Anybody know of a nice modern alternative that could be rigged up?

Perhaps a Bandit, SV, GSXR?

I'm using something like 2000 GSXR switchgear for the left controls on my bike. On the right I have a Yosh piece with kill switch, starter switch, and a headlight switch. You should easily be able to adapt something newer.

Why do you need all that fancy stuff. Just let some bare wires dangle and touch them together when you need to. That's what I do......

OUCH!

I'm looking at doing the same thing in light of my cafe racer build.
I cant find any controls that will do Kill switch, and ignition button.
I can find indicators/horn switch. But nothing for kill and start button. I want something chrome. I know they exist but i have no idea where to get them.

These are so ugly.

I used Bandit switches for my GS850 for both the left and the right side. Fairly easy swap.

You'll probably have to look at cruiser stuff if you want chrome. Trouble is most of them use larger diameter bars.

....I have no idea what you're talking about!

OK, this is what I needed to know. The hunt begins...

Thanks

Forget the Bandit switches. They look good, but don't look 'great' in my opinion.

I just bought these...I bought 2. One side will be a kill switch & start button & on/off/hi-beam for the headlights. The other side will be indicator and horn. One button will have no functionality on that side. Unless I decide to add something later like a cigarette lighter switch or something.

You could just get this if u just want indicator.

I really wanted this...but they dont make a matching left side. And I like symmetry.
Good luck on the HUNT!

Nice.

I actually went with GSXR stuff, can't wait to get it/get it working.

You could just go redneck and use a piece of aluminum angle with u-bolts and lighted toggle switches from the closest truck stop.... Might start a trend....
