I am tearing apart a 175 HS for restoration and this is probably the first of many questions.
Is this the stock 175 HS handle and mount? I see that it has been ground down and it has a brake switch. But the photos online are showing no brake switch.
The parts diagram shows two handles. One for the MII and the other for the 175.
I think I have a perch from the MII
But a handle from a 175?
I would love to have a brake switch on there for safety reasons. Can it be wired into the 175 system? and does anybody have a perch and handle combo that has not been modified like this one? The handle does not activate or reach the switch even with all the grinding the previous owner did.
