I got a 79 shovel chop. Duel disc and I'm looking to change the stock handle bar cylinder with switches(signal and kill) for one that doesn't have those switches. It's a chopper without any bells and whistles.
Is there any nice clean simple ones that work out there?
I found this on eBay but it says for single disc and it's so cheap I assume it's crap.
Anyone have any ideas?

And here is my current one that I want gone.
Mutley those early shovel MC's were a pain in the *** and most have scored and pitted bores by now. That one has a 3/4" bore and can be used with single or duals but I'd suggest you keep looking honestly.
Oh I wasn't gonna buy that one, just a reference for what I'm looking for. I want a good quality one not a cheapo. I just want to clean up the look of the bars by getting rid of useless things(the switches)
Not positive( bikes elsewhere) but I thought it was 5/8 bore. I have a couple of these laying around. One was stripped where the line threads in to the res and the one I got mounted now in the top pic. Like I said I just want a cleaner less bulky look. Any one know of a good replacement ?
You can always use a later model master cyl and clutch mount - they are separate pieces from the switch housings. A little work to remove a flange and you have a nice look.
