Why on earth would a clutch perch include those?

Usually only the clutch pull gear switch is in the perch. Those other switches are on the left switch cover. I think you are confusing a clutch perch with the left switch cover.

My 1976 has switches ( headlight, hi-lo beams, turn signals, and horn) and clutch perch built in one assembly. My 1978 and 1979 have seperate clutch perches and switch assemblies.

+1 On the above!

There was a model design change over that the early Wings did around 1976 from the combination design that included the whole electrical switching/clutch perch to a separate design that was supposed to be superior to the all in one design. WingOvations covers it in his technical section on his site that the separately designed clutch perch was supposed to work better with the clutch cable pull.
My 1976 has the redesigned dual set up; yet when I bought a 1976 set of bars with switches for spare parts they were the combination design.
Current Bikes:

1966 CL77 - Honda 305cc - Dual purpose - "Gentleman's Scrambler" was a period moniker.
1967 CL175K0 - Low production number with #802 engine serial- winter 2019/2020 full restoration.
1972 CB350F - Baby Four with low mileage - Cosmetic refresh to the next level 2021/2022.
1978 CB550K - Very original bike with only 7499 Km. from new - light cleanup and refresh done.
1983 CB1100F - Canadian model - DOHC Supersport in pristine low kilometre condition from new.
1984 GL1200 - Standard model in showroom condition - two owner bike from new.
1984 CX650E - Restored summer 2017 - a rare Eurosport model - excellent one owner bike.

The company that manufactures the kits for K&L also supplies the manufacturers directly. The kits are high quality - I've been using and selling them for years.

Willie & Flyin - thanks for the info on the design change. If I use the Chinesium Fluoride lever set, I'll look for a used '77 switch assembly. Apparently the controls work well but switches? Not so sure.

Would this master cylinder with the16mm bore be considered a performance up grade on my 1981 GL1100?
