Low high beam switch

I looked at partszilla and all they show is the complete housing. Is there a part number for the low high beam switch?

Chances are they're NLA anyway. I saw some NOS parts on eBay but they want too much so I bought a whole unit from z1partsinc.net $50.

I know this one. I used contact cleaner on it and it disintegrated.

I spent hours wading through ebay listings to find that sucker. Installed it, and it broke right where the button screws on. :angry:

take it apart and clean copper parts, no big deal, I always do that. 30-40 years old bike. Read maintenance schedule, you have to clean switches every 35 years. :)

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationYou'll probably need to buy the whole unit. The KZ650 unit looks very much like yours. See:

Everyone I take apart breaks! Or was broken. That will work fine. Just put a dab of your favorite glue, then just snug that small flat head phillips. that just sits there.
I assume you have the black top knob? I have some black knobs if you need one.
