Re: Switches on handlebar/ lights/directionals/ignition
Disassembly was easy, (isn't it always, LOL), reassembly was a pain trying to get the spring and ball bearing back into place and everything back together. I learned then that some easy looking jobs are easy at the factory where. there are jigs, tools and stuff I don't have on hand. Even after disassembly, cleaning and reassembly ( a third hand would have helped), the horn button still didn't work. As it was a European switch not a US switch it was NLA. I found a new old stock one on Ebay.
The US switch can be retro fitted to the European switch, thankfully BMW keeps the wire colors the same.
Oh by European switch I mean the switch with the horn, high beam flash and three position headlight switch. This can be found I believe in 77 /7 US bikes, the 77 RS and perhaps even the 76 R90S. Some time around perhaps 78 the US went to the headlights "on" all the time system so the three position switch was removed from then till another change in perhaps 81 when the turn signals were moved from right to left.
Not a lot of help here, sorry. St.
