I bought a set of RD250/350 switches AND a set of RD400 switches too. They are very good-looking replicas (made in Taiwan IIRC) and for that price I figured I wasn't going to waste the time rebuilding my piles of old clusters and I'm not doing any proper restorations. I have NOT actually installed them and used them yet though. I did take them apart and examined insides for build quality and used a continuity tester on the harness to make sure all positions working. They are currently in storage with all my other RD stuff  :sad:

I have not purchased the calipers, but they are tempting me... The company ships fast and all secure packaging with no damage and good feedback.

i bought kz ones (for a 900 but used them on my 650) they work real well. they have to come out of the same factory.

I bought a repop control switch a while back for my Daytona since it was missing the right one.  Don't recall who I got it from but it's a very well made piece and looks nearly identical to OE.

And as a side note, I've purchased a few parts from 4into1 (the seller above in the eBay listings) directly from their web site ( https://4into1.com/ ) over the past 2 years or so, and all were very good quality. They ship really quickly too. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

This insight helps a great deal, I will of course keep all of the OEM parts with the idea of giving them a go some day properly.

I just ordered my Race Tech Gold Valve Fork Emulators and rear 520 chain conversion rear sprocket, also ordered a DID 520 gold drive chain from another source as Ecomomy has been out of stock.........parts are piling in and almost ready for another rider  :cheers:

Don't hesitate on the switches. I just bought some. Great quality

Another endorsement for 4ino1. They're just a short drive from my house, so I've actually been to their warehouse to pick up parts. The owner is very nice and candid. We talked about the need for Japanese vintage repop parts and how little money he's actually making from the selection. He's conscientious about selling good quality at budget prices. I'm happy with my purchases.

Last year I installed both the switches and the caliper above. Zero issues with them. Both look and work great. No issue bleeding caliper, I used gravity method. If you shop around, you will find the caliper and maybe the switches cheaper somewhere else. I know I paid under 100 bucks for the caliper.
75 RD350 bought 12/22. First motorcycle I have ever owned.
