Hopefully, the pictures uploads are fixed for the time being. Let me know if you continue to have issues. I am looking into a more permanent solution. Thanks for your patience. - Makotosun

Maybe a bit pricey, but seller is open to offers.

If seller doesn't post to US, then I'm happy to buy and forward to you.

I thought about buying it but it has 3 switches on it. I assume for turn signals on this one. My original is only horn and light switch. I've been looking for one. Can't find one like mine so i will most likely recondition my original. I haven't gotten to it yet so not sure if it even works. Hope so.

Yeah that one is for turn signals so maybe 69/70? Not 68 and 71 are more like other 70s.  At least the DT/RT bikes anyway.  I have an NOS one of those signal ones when I accidentally bought it thinking it would be for my 68.

I agree about the added turn signal function. One could always "add" turn signals to an early bike using this as a period -correct switch. Possibly they were required by then for the European market.

pricey indeed.

"Possibly they were required by then for the European market."

I'd venture that they were needed for the Japanese market (JDM) from the very first year - first promo videos and brochures show them fitted, with the front ones mounted to the fork ears/headlight.
