Which of these is correct one for 75 Z1? Whichever is right one, I will try to re-condition.

The one on the right I remember being on a 1977 Kz1000 I had, not sure about the one on the left, could be the correct type for the Z1.

I would say the one on the left is more correct, the one on the right looks the same as my '78 Ltd. The Canadian version did not have the headlight on/off switch as we had a daytime running headlight but the kill switch had a fatter red insert, also like the one on the left.
good luck!

The switch in Roys picture is an early 1973 Z1 switch. The rounded area with the 'OFF RUN OFF' lettering shows it as a 73 switch, the throttle lock knob underneath shows it as a very early 73 switchblock.

The switchblock in the left side of your picture appears to be a 75 switch.
