about a horn

Post by rgierer »

The bike. A 1974 Ducati 750 GT. I have had the bike 15 days and have done a lot of stuff to it, mostly clean, clean, rebuild a part, clean, clean, rebuild another part etc.. I hope to tune carbs this week, sort out tach and speedo and put on new tires.

The bike has no turn signals, no problem for me, I have arms. The horns are in a box. I do need the horns if I want license plates in Missouri. It appears the turn signal/horn switch has been removed. I assume it goes on the left handlebar. Any ideas on what works for a replacement?

Hi
if you want to go for originality you need the CEV one

If you are not obsessed by that you can use the easy to find and economic Aprila that was mounted on the 1974 750 SS (from the 750 bible of Ian Falloon)

I assume it's the same mounted on the bevel mono.
It should be this one.

The first switch shown is also part of the clutch lever perch assy.
Even when new they were junk.
You can get more modern universal switches from Steve on this site.
You will have to adapt the wiring a bit but you probably should be making a new loom anyway.
The CEV switches shown also will need the base plate and clamp to allow mounting to a 7/8" bar.
