J2 ignition lock source? was created by Warren3200gt
As title guys, it's not available for J1 & 2 any longer from khi. J3 repop is available from zpower but is totally different in both wire colours, mount and barrel length as the clock set for a j3 is different to a J1 & 2.
J1 & 2 is a 6 wire block with a seventh female spur.Anyone resolved this issue, if so how? or source of a repop or have a sh unit available for beer tokens?

Z1 Enterprises list the below as fitting J1, 2 & 3 but I know that must be incorrect as J3 is definately different at that list has J3 wire colour order.

Just to be sure, is your ignition switch part #27005-5019 with the slender key cylinder? I've seen this problem before w the narrow neck: one fix was to get a similar ignition switch from a later model, such as a Vulcan 750, but I don't recall exactly. need to do some checking.

Not exactly sure tbh Martin. I bought the bike in boxes and it was all present except........ the ignition barrel. As far as I have been able to workout it needs the one on the left below.

The one on the left is #27005-5019, as mentioned above.

Here's a topic about the narrow cylinder. There's another topic I recall but haven't found it yet.

I think your right Martin. Looking at the underside of the top yolk there is a half circle recess to match the lock. Plus the two bolt holes. 
The J2 lock required is a 6 wire block plus a separate single bullit spur. 
Wire colour layout is 
Orange/green - brown - orange

White/black - red - white

Seperate spur is red/yellow. 

It's unlikely another model switch would be an exact fit/wire layout so will have to get busy with a multimeter once I find one which will physically fit with the correct amount of wires.

The Emgo catalog has wire/pin info on some of their ignition switches. see catalog starting on pg 305.
emgowebsite.04833d7.netsolhost.com/wp-co...eneral_IN-2967-1.pdf

Partial list of similar ignition switches w the slender lock cylinder. not all years listed. a couple of OEM or aftermarket may be available.
1981-82 KZ1000-J1/J2 = 27005-5019
1984 ZN700/1100 = 27005-5040
1986 EN450 = 27005-5044
1986 VN750 = 27005-5052 >> this is the ignition switch that was used on a KZ1000-K Ltd.
1986-87 ZL600/900/1000 = 27005-5045
1986-87 ZN1300 Voyager = 27005-5034

Hmmmm, seems to be 7 wire quantity is the stumbling block.
They all seem to be 5 wire or 6 at most.

I think I have tracked down the original thread you mentioned below Martin. Looks to be the solution I was after, thanks. 
Just got to find one at a good price this side of the pond now.

Thanks.  Yes, that's it.  I thought it was on the other forum & never looked here on KZR. doh.  There may be an Emgo available.

Edit: you might be able to find a good used VN750 part.  27005-5052 was used until at least 2006.
