Handlebar switches.

With the bike reliably up and running I turned my attention to smaller details.

The switch gear although perfectly functional looked tired with faded paint and worn off lettering.

From my box of spares I stripped the left and right switches.

These were primed and sprayed with a satin black.

The sheet was bought from ebay 3mm high to match the original which is rubbed onto the surface to make up the lettering.

The 2 pictures below show the finished lettering.

Both sides were given several coats of clear lacquer sprayed in a way so it remain a satin finsh.

The clip that holds the throttle cable in place was a bit rusty so I made a new one from a piece of stainless sheet.

The last picture shows the internals re-assembled and the switches back on the handlebar.
