Modern Vespa

i have a 1975 USA ralley 200. next to the right hand grip there is a switch block for turn signals and kill switch. i would like to restore the kill switch which is missing but have no idea what the components look like to replicate. i have attached a photo of my switch and would greatly appreciate someone who has a complete switch posting photos of the components so i could see what needs to be replicated.

thank you so much, Pasman

I would buy a new switch...

if you're dead set on it being OG, then you could probably find a used one or one that's thrashed and use two to make one. if that's the course you're looking to take let me know and I'll root around and see if I have any spare bits from broken ones.

thanks for responding greasy125,
i probably should have posted a picture of the cover as well so here it is. i've searched before but have never found anyone selling the correct switch. they all have buttons for things the wires don't support. so yes, when you have time to check and see if you have any parts for this type of switch it would be appreciated.

The 70's US switches are getting hard to find.

Here ya go … got one on Brownie.

ah, I didn't realize it was *that* switch.

yeah, tough to find. I might have some bits of one floating around. I'll have a look.

thank you SoCalGuy excellent picture.

geasy125 i'll check back regularly incase you come up with something.

hey SoCalGuy,
your picture was great but could i trouble you for more detail?

the red arrow, is that just a washer on the I pin to support the spring?

the yellow arrow, the brass piece that the end of the I pin is in contact with...i'm assuming there's a hole in the brass piece that the pin can move through...correct?

i'm aware that when you move the lever to the left the spring moves the brass piece to the left where it contacts the brass square with the screw in it.

thanks again

I had a '76 Rally w/ this DOT mandated switch on it which I gave to my son, w/ thumb lever busted off in the run position & we just use the key. It may still have those other bits inside if you can come up w/ the lever. Let me know if that would help but it may be a little while before I can find out.

Pasman, answer to both your questions is yes.

It's quite possibly the most over-engineered kill switch ever put on a motorcycle.

My original one disintegrated. I JB Welded & soldered it back together minus the spring. It actually works, but in reverse. I was saving it for spare parts. Let me know if you want it.

wow! SoCalGuy, that would be very generous of you. if you would be willing to let it go i'd be happy to put it to god use.

very greatful, Pasman

thanks to SoCalGuy i was able to restore kill switch!! damn! won't let me attach video.

Could you post another picture of the switch in the OFF position?

is this ok

isn't that circlip gonna fall out? it's looking too big

yes... i didn't have any of the oringinal components and was temporarily using the the only c clip i had while i engineered replacement components. i will replace the c clip with the appropriate c clip.
