IGNITION SWITCH
Triumph ignition switch, catalog number 60-0989 (formerly D989), used in the lighting and electrical switchgear.
This is the ignition switch, part number 60-0989, also known under its older Triumph part-book code D989. It's an electrical component and shows up in the catalog under both the headlamp/flasher lamp figure and the general electrical equipment figure, which tells you it's grouped with the switchgear and lighting circuit rather than anything to do with the engine itself.

The ignition switch is what you turn to bring the electrical system live, feeding power out to the lighting circuit and the ignition system so the bike will run and the lights will work. On these Triumphs it's typically mounted where the rider can reach it from the seat, though our catalog record doesn't spell out the exact mounting location beyond the figures it appears in.
Our records show this part appearing across catalog entries spanning 1968 to 1978, but we don't have anything more specific tying it to a particular model or year. If you're not sure this is the right switch for your bike, give us a call and we'll help confirm before you order.
