I once lost a top to a Calafia saddle bag. My brother in Seattle took me to this place. Sure enough,
they had one. Give them a call.

There's got to be a used ignition switch for that damn thing somewhere. I sent an email to a Honda
Goldwing lover buddy of mine. I assume you saw this one:

I'd call him and see if he'd take something off. Hell, the ad says he's got ten of them!
....

John I've not seen that eBay ad but I do know that a large gold wing dealer was starting to have them reproduced because Honda OE was SOL.
On a Honda forum they were 189.00

I have an identical parts bike but the switch is different because it has the round analog gauges where my aspencade is digital. So different switch with different functions.

I'll probably buy a new switch because I don't really trust another used one and I don't like the idea of being stuck with n a parking lot maybe a hundred miles from home...

Then again, maybe I ought to "fence row" the thing... Lol!


No, no, no. There's enough old tractors filling up the fence rows out there. With so few miles and
everything else in good shape, I'd refinance the house and buy the new switch. You'll still have
very little money tied up in a bike that you like pretty well.
