79 xs special parts

[spdy0001]

The choke lever is broke off and the hi/lo light swich is broke off my bike. Im sure I will probably have to buy the whole control cluster that holds that switch but does anyone know where I could find these two parts?

Switch

Hey SPDY0001 Have a switch off an 80 Special. Hi - Lo,Horn,Signals,4 Way Flashers. Yours for $10.00 USD plus shipping. Let me know. bkr

[spdy0001]

bkr thanks for the offer

Im new to this bike so maybe you can tell me if that would be a direct fit for my bike. I know mine doesn't have the 4 way flasher option so there could be a wiring harness diffrence.

Thanks

spdy0001,
look under the switch housing. There should be a square slide -type switch to turn on the flashers.

Just what kind of bike do you have? The 79 SF does not have a choke lever on the left side handlebar switch. It should be on the left side of the carbs. The XJ1100 has the choke lever on the left side handlebar switch. An 80 SG had the 4 way flasher switch on the left side, on the bottom of the switch. I happen to have an entire left side switch assembly for an XJ with choke cable attached, available, if needed.

I have a 79 xs1100s

I need the control cluster that has the hi/lo switch. I also need the choke lever that is attached to the carbs. Sorry didn't mean to sound like the were part of the same peice.

Hey spdy, I have a choke lever on a set of 80 xs 11 carbs which when I had them on my 79 special was the same thing. Let me know if ya still want it. I'll dig it outta my garage.

Hey Claggs,
my choke lever is busted off on my 1980 XS1100 SG and I could use one... if you can dig it out send me a price w/shipping and I'll fire an USPS m.o. to you...
TIA, UncleSpot

I bought a big box of used Yamaha switches off eBay last year and while not all of them work, I have enough spare parts to fix most anything that an XS11switch will need. If all else fails, you could send me the switch and I could repair it.

I'm getting ready to put SR250 right bar switches on both of my 11s. This switch looks almost identical to the XS11 switch but has a greatly improved starter button.
