I got rid of my kill switch. But on road kings you got a big dash ignition switch on my ultra I try to avoid using it. Easier to replace ignition switch than kill switch bigger contacts too. But you are not breaking load
Starter button I put mechanical button on starter and I am putting in electric switch on frame under seat on one of hole
Putting starter on separate fuse than ignition

I got both started buttons from tc bros. Mechanical looks simple. The electric is small wires and makes me nervous for robustness but all the choices seemed that way. I think I will do second layer of heat shrink
I think I will install mechanical button on other bike
They also sell a lever they show on XLs. Didn't fit my TC. Do you really need electric button? I know someone without one

Ive seen Prism Supplys lever, and the non-lever version. The mechanical button on the solenoid is probably the cleanest and best value.
I tried it on this bike, but I didnt love that it would crank without the key. It obviously wouldnt start, but that plus the ergonomics of it (having to start it quick if you stall, and burning ur hand on your pipe) made me want a button and switch like this.
I broke like 3 trying to fit it in there, but they come in a 12 pack for $6.
But when the hog rattles the cheap chinese solder in 100 miles, and im on the side of the road with no power to my coil, ill let you know.
I relocated the key to under the battery tray using a bracket from prism supply...
and wired in posh mini switches on the bars for the starter button and kill switch in stock-ish location. I will only use posh swiches and buttons. Posh switches are expensive but will last forever (made in japan).
and I use a direct starter button on the starter as well for a backup.
I originally had reservations about being able to activate the starter with the bike off but with this switch (Nash) it doesn't look like a button and you have to really push on it for it to activate.
