Honda CB750 Ignition View

For 1969, Honda tried this unique ignition setup with a plastic plug roll-pinned to the key, the idea being that the plug would keep moisture out of the ignition switch. As it turned out, the switch had problems (possibly with moisture retention?) and was discontinued. That said, the key and switch hardware are obviously very difficult to track down.
