I have a key and switch that came with my 78K.Not sure if it is original to the bike or not. It has two keys,but it does turn a little stiff.I'd have to check to see if it is even good or not.

I have a dohc front end on my bike now and would like to have a switch that fits those trees/mounts. I dount you have that,though

Are you sure you cannot use the 4 wire style?  The plugs are the same right?

I used a 1975 everything on my 1978.

I think that extra wire is parking lights.
I do not remember al the details now though because it has been a few months.

no the plugs are not the same.i know i used a wire harness that was for a different year because someone told me it would work no problem,well it didnt..it had female plug ends where they needed to be male..anyways,my buddy gave me this switch with the bike,he didnt know it was the wrong one..

Here is the switch I have. 5 pins and only one key. I still havent had time to test it.If this is the type of switch you need then i will test it. There is a small crack in the body of the switch and another small area of the plastic part where the plug goes that is broke off. Nothing that seems like it will let the switch fly apart,but if you think you might want this i can get some pics of those areas for you.

That crack in the body does not hurt anything. The plastic part is the switch. The other part just turns the switch to the position, you want. Throw that plastic switch away, and get a new one. They are less then $15.00 if I remember right.
