handlebar switch restoration was created by austinbikergirl

I have been restoring the handle switches for most 70's models enduros for 7 years.  I purchase my silver sleeving from DEET and have a need to replenish stock yet he hasn't answered my messages.  I do hope he is good and possibly on vacation or something.  Anyone know?

Yes, he was a great resource. I have no idea what has happened to him. I contacted him a few years ago hoping he could help me with a cable and he responded that he could not help, no other explanation. He is the best for gauges, coils and wiring harnesses.

Hello All - I need help with my 1970 CT1B horn/light switch (the sheet metal one!). Besides needing new sleeving (and rubber grommet if avail) I think the horn button spring bit is cracked/broken because the depression/tension is flaky and uneven. The high low sw seems ok after dousing it with WD but any refreshing in that area would be good too.
Just let me know if anyone can do this!
Thanks,
Joe M
