Key Ignition

Motorcycle ignition switches and key sets for custom and cafe racer builds, replacing bulky OEM ignition barrels with compact units that suit the minimalist aesthetic of a stripped-back bike. Universal fitment with included wiring diagrams for straightforward installation on most vintage Japanese and European motorcycles.

The stock ignition switch on a classic CB750 or CX500 is disproportionately large and visually dominant. A compact aftermarket switch reduces the visual clutter on the instrument area and often fits more cleanly behind a new instrument panel or inside a custom top yoke cutout.

What is available:

• Compact round ignition switches with 2 or 3 position operation
• Bar-mount and panel-mount configurations
• Key sets with 2 keys per unit
• RFID keyless ignition from Motogadget (m.lock)

Compatible with:

• Universal fitment, 12V systems
• Commonly used on Honda CB series, CX500, Kawasaki Z series, Yamaha XS series

Installation note: Often paired with a Motogadget m.unit or electrical control hub for a complete electrical system refresh. See the Electrical Parts collection for compatible control hubs.
