I was looking at the switchgear on the wifes YB100 and I really like the look and simplicity of it. Just the sort of thing I want on my enfield project.

Thing is, the YB ones have built-in lever mounts and I'm intending to use a disc brake with a seperate lever clamp and M/C.

Wondering if there are any bikes with similar type of bare alloy switchgear that don't incorporate the bowden lever (or just a lever on the clutch side).

Would need to be off a kickstart bike, or not have a starter button.

In fairness, I'm not too bothered if it has flashers either. Needs a 3 position headlamp switch (off, pilot, on); a dip/beam; a horn; kill switch optional because there will be a decompressor.

Here's what the YB ones look like:

Those look good. It appears you can also still buy new aftermarket ones.

Still have the lever mounts but I suppose I could easily cut them off.

Does it have a high/low beam slider on the left or just an off/low/high on the right?

I probably COULD but I have no midget to work the bellows and I'm running low on the blood of my enemies for quenching purposes.

The exup had polished alloy ones with no mounting points for levers. I'll check with the person scrapping it to see if he still has them if you like.

Absolutely perfect. Thumbs Up Look in cracking condition too.

I can even use the choke cable mount for the decompressor.
