Start button replacement for a 1976 Honde CB 500T?

Question:
I have a 1976 Honda CB 500t. The plastic housing for the starter button has pretty well crumbled. It's next to impossible to find a reliable replacement. Does anyone know of a suitable substitute, or of a replacement? Most M/C parts shops salvage parts, but do not guarentee them to work. Any help appreciated.

When my '81 Kawasaki CSR650's starter button died (and I got tired of roll starting it) I just went to radio shack and got a momentary switch and wired it in - and epoxied it to the master cylinder. A little bit of electrical tape to seal it all up, and voila!!

I think you'll find that all the CB450 Hondas probably had identical
switches, and probably a number of other models as well. In fact you could probably install a throttle grip from any modern machine that has a 7/8 inch diameter bar size. However, something from a different model may or may not have the same electrical connection. Even so, the typical right hand switch is throttle housing, kill switch, and starter button and therefore should not be a big problem to wire up.
