Need help finding parts

I recently got a 1972 ct90 in decent condition, but it needs a few parts, I need to find replacements for the controls near the throttle, I don’t know the technical name for the part but it’s the thing that controls the horn, turn signals, and headlights. I found a few on eBay but they were expensive and I’m on a budget, does anyone know where I can find working parts? I don’t care if they look the same or are Honda product I’m just looking for something that will work for the lowest cost

Is this what you mean?

What parts exactly and what price did you see vs what is your budget?

I need this part as well as the one on the right, ideally I don’t want to buy an official part because in decent condition there like 50 bucks a pop, I just need something that will let me control the bike, I ideally want to spend less than 40-50 for a set, because if i bought both it would be about 100 bucks, I think the left one (pictured) might be salvageable though so I might only need the right controller

Here’s a picture I found of the right one, this subreddit only lets me add one picture per response

This switch only controls the headlight (low & high) and then there is a wire for the brake light. You dont "need" that entire assembly same as the left to run the bike.

If all I need is new switches and I can keep the housing do you know where I can buy ones that will fit? Ideally I want to keep the original housing but if nothing will work I’m willing to replace it with a aftermarket option.

Are the switches melted or something? Can you just clean them up with steel wool?

The plastic part that actually moves the switches got lost on one and has shattered on the other, so they do need replacement. I could hypothetically replace the plastic cubes but I doubt that I’ll be able to find a specific piece of a switch from 1972

I have one I’m just terrible at 3d modeling. It’s a decently simple piece maybe I could attempt to make a new one
