Try removing the broken off part with two small picks, scribes, screwdivers etc. If you're successful, there will be a number on the front of the switch starting with T NA or NB . Post the #s on here, and one of us may have the key you need.

My first cl had the same problem, broken off key. I took the whole switch out and asked a lock smith in town to extract it and luckily he was able to. Then he made me a key that was not a correct one for the bike but would turn the darned thing and that was OK by me. If you feel you need a correct one for the bike, look around here, or you may find a lock smith clever enough to fix you up. Rusty

I have a '63 CB77 which came with a key that was about to fall apart and got a replacement blank from auto locksmith/motorcyclekeys,com. It's a Taylor H71K if that helps you out at all.
