1965 R69S handle bar switch controls

[germancarguy]

The chrome switch parts on both the right and left hand handle assembly's are pretty beat up and look like they belong on a kids toy. What are my options for bolt on replacement, maybe /5 components ?

Thanks

Arent these switches still available for purchase? For example here is the left side switch:

You can by the correct rotary style switches, both left and right (and these are not the same as a /5 in appearance) and then order a 32 72 2 072 183 adapter base to go in place of the chrome high/lo switch which will allow you to mount the rotary style switch on the standard clutch perch. The 072 183 is shown below

What adapter should be used for the right side ?

Hi Paul-
I've swapped switches around in the past, though never did chrome blinker to batwing blinker without a perch swap. (used parts on hand)
If keeping the original perches, I would think what you want is 32 72 2 072 175, as the right side companion to the 183 adapter on the left.

Well-
And now that I've had my morning tea and am waking up, I think I'm wrong on the above suggested part, that looks instead to mount a chrome blinker to a no switch perch.
I've seen very few chrome blinker switches, usually bare or batwing, and so am unfamiliar with the perch for the chrome.
So I don't know; perhaps a perch swap...?
Best-

I would just replace the 2 switches with original replacements
Sounds like you already have the switch bracket for the right hand switch

If you're just replacing the housing for the horn/light switch Meyer's has it for 41.48 euro.
