throttle housing

My 79 throttle housing is broken (top half)-what are the interchanges with other years of CBX or any other Honda product?

If you have the sport kit, [cables come out of the top] I am not sure but the regular throttle [cables out the bottom] 650, 750, 900 Honda Customs of the same era should fit.

The problem you are going to experience if you use any switch other than a 79 CBX switch is the connectors on the 79 are gigantic in comparison to any of the other CB's that have similar looking switches.

If you can get the top part of the plastic loose from a switch (any CB-F, K, SC or C) without breaking it, it will fit on the 79's.

Hey, I've been to the salvage yard and taken one off a 900F and the top halves do not seem to interchange. They look exactly alike, but they are cut different in relation to one another. If you used the top and bottom it would be okay, but at this point I'm still looking for just the top.
