What am I missing to mount my key switch?

[Guest]

Any ideas???

The stock one?

That one doesn't look like a Suzuki one.

I'm pretty sure what I have is correct as the key is a real suzuki key from that era. The key also matches the steering lock, seat lock and tank.

Take a picture the bore of where you are trying to stuff it. It may have a roll pin in there. I suspect that if it does youd remove the roll opin, stick in the lock, and secure the lock into the hosing with the roll pin. Other than that a few good pis my help see whats going on with whee youre stuffing it.

Your switch is from the good old days when they actually put the key numbers on the switches.
(That’s from back when Suzuki sold two strokes.)

My bad - looks like the 750B had that type of switch (#3 in the pic):



No idea what it mounts to though....but there should be a cap that screws on the top so I assume it goes through a plate with a hole?

The 4 stroke inline 4s have the key codes stamped on them too jabcb..it wasnt just a 2 stroke from back in the day thing. And yes its a 77 B switch which means it fit into the hole on the gauge housing from below and a ring goes on from above to secure it to the panel. Looking at then pictures you have a 78 / 79 gauge set. If you look under the top triple tree youll see 2 6MM holes here the correct ignition bolts to the triple from below. Its held on with 2 allen head screws.

Youre options are buy a correct ignition and have two keys..or buy a correct ignition and have everything else rekeyed if you want just one key that fits it all. Cheaper to just have two keys to the bike.

That switch goes inn the right side hole on this dash...

OK...So I have the right key switch for my bike but the wrong gauge cluster. Makes sense

[chuck hahn]

Yes. It does seem so.

[Wildman1024]

Yes. It does seem so.

Cool. Thank you for your help. Makes sense now. I'm not to familiar with these bikes yet but I have a garage full of kawies that i needed to break up.

Ive got a box with some full gauges in storage but I wont be able to get there till Saturday or Sunday. I will check and see if I have a set for you.

Sweet. Thank you very much.

Its supposed to be freezing brain and ice the next 2 days so i went tonight and got the gauge box down. They are in pretty nice shape..most importantly the chrome back cover is very very clean. Im thinking 100.00 shipping included. let me know what you think.

They look nice and I think a good deal. Hold on to them for now as I dont have that money to spend as I bought the bike and dyna ignition and a bunch of parts for another bike im working on. I'll get to them eventually though.
