Ignition died on me 2 years ago. I'm using a 2-way toggle for that now.

So wait, what's the confusion with no kill switch? Just solder the 2 wires together?

Tripn88, where are you from in Texas?

16 amp for the start? was that a typo? And when you said connect the wires for the kill, you mean it will always be off, right?

16amp is what the box says. thats what im using, if you connect the wires it would completed the circuit so it would run unless carbed bikes work differently? i could be wrong though lol

Looking for ideas on where to mount my switches. I can make a bracket. Just dont know a good spot for it. I will also be mounting my on/off switch there as it current it double taped to the frame haha.

Dont give me hell for keeping the right side switch mount. I needed to be able to use my damn throttle and didnt feel like buying/waiting for a solution.

P. S. I also need a battery. The one i got last year is toast. Turns out unsealed is NOT the way to go. Anyone recommend a place to buy one other than HD for $135?

Home Depot electrical isle for those toggles. Most are rated for 120v AC but you just need to confirm the amp draw ... that's what I used to replace my ignition key.

If you aren't looking to hide your switches, what about making a bracket to mount them to the front horn mount, in front of the engine, at the frame ? Out of the way at least.
