The starter button is broke where one of the screws goes, ill prob need a good used one.

I may have an extra...I'll look see.
Top half or bottom half?

I need the bottom half. Thanks for checking.

Here is a pic of the top half and throttle. its the in-handle bar throttle assmbly.

Bottom half u can see it was cracked off. once i get the bottom half ill be able to fix the starter button so it works.

I do have an extra, top and bottom with starter button. The bottom half has a small hairline crack between the screw holes, but it appears useable and wouldn't be visible.
The wire was cut near the switch and will need to be soldered or you could use your wire to the contact.
If you can use it, you are welcome to it, just PM me your mailing address.

I would look for something closer to the original style, which were square lenses.
Mounted on the handlebar and into the square hole which is covered by the Honda logo on the rear fender struts.
Here is a pic of some repro signals similar to the original.
They are shown as discontinued here, but I've seen them from other vendors on ebay occasionally.

will do. Got the cops coming out to vin check, then i have to get it tagged. Hopefully i wont have to put winkers on it, but would like to have them. Wouldnt mind having some bags for it, but either way i love the bike.

Things to fix and im good to go:

-Pulled the chrome strip off the seat and am in the midst of re-attaching it to the proper place

-Took the sticker off the fender, pulled a little paint with it so might have to get it repainted.

-I could not get the bolt off where the battery ground is suppose to go so i reconnected it to the swing arm bolt for now.

-Last thing to do when i get the switch from Brewsky, is to get the starter button reconnected and working properly.

-adjust clutch (still wants to move forward when in gear slightly)

Thanks again guys for the comments and suggestions.
