It's pretty difficult to find parts for the Honda cb250 nighthawk and a need a replacement for the left hand switch gear and just wondering if anyone knows whether they are interchangeable?They look identical. here's a link to the superdream switchgear

Cant say for DEFINITE, but pretty good liklihood.
I have CB 'Seven-fifty', and a close inspection of teh 750 'Nighthawk' showed that they were essentially the same bike, all the did to 'cruiser' it was fit shorter shocks at the back and longer forks at the front, tilting the frame, then sat different tank & seat on top! Oh, and they used three spoke wheels with a single disk up front rather than the CB's twin discs from teh VF...
ANYWAY, point is, chances are high, they didn't do MUCH different between the CB250 & 250 Nighthawk... if the price is right, PROBABLY worth the risk.
worst case is it dont fit, best case it is directly interchangeable. In the middle, possibility that it has a different connector on the end, and all you have to do is buzz out some wires and splice the old connector block on.
LH switch? whats on it? Hi-Lo indicators & pass?
SHOULD be the same I'd have thought. If anything only immediete difference I can think of is on teh RH-Switch, where US spec Nighthawk might not have an on/off/side switch for the lamps, being 'pre-wired'... in which case fitting UK switch would give you a redundant switch you COULD wire in if you wanted to turn the lights off while riding!
AH... just looked, thats an 'old' superdream switch.
Still possible, but what switches do you have in teh cluster?
That has the Lamps on-main on the LHS, I think later 'standardised controls have the on-off on the right, hi-lo on the left.
Maybe a bit more looking... switch from similar era CB250/350 or even 500/750 MAY be closer to whats on your bike.
Depends on whether you want to keep the look 'original', but I have a Kawasaki LH switch on my 750! If you find a cluster with the rioght switches in it, as said, you can buz out the wiring and fit your old connector block.
