I have a 1975 CB200T and I have repaired my starter button several times. The internal plastics are cracked and broken and held together with tape.
Does anyone know of where to get a replacement one? This is the button inside of the Throttle control which toggles between the headlight being on and engaging the starter.
I have all the internal parts but the chance of finding the square plastic cover which fits into the control is nil.
I have toyed with just putting a toggle switch on the back of the headlight for the light and sticking a momentary switch under the seat connected to the relay. But I am trying to keep as close to original as possible.
Let me know what you have done that works.
Thanks,
Wolf

This says cb550 but is also the same as for the cb200 t. only $10 and works fine.

You could replace the switch with a 5 pole relay, inside the headlight, and run one wire up to a push button switch on the handlebar. Does the same job as that complicated handle bar switch, and less current drop for a brighter headlight.

Hey Birdistheword! I just ordered the new switch housing. I will let you know how it works. Thanks for the tip! I have all the inside parts so this would rock if it fits the throttle housing.

Hey wolfrider1988, any chance you have any pictures of the internals? I had the same problem with my recently acquired CB200T, except I was also missing the ball bearing and plate that makes the contact. I took a gamble and ended up buying a reproduction CB500 hoping the internals would match, but no luck. Here are some pictures for reference for anyone interested. The third picture is the reproduction switch.
