Thanks Tonyc I'm starting to realize that now. Still gonna do it tho. Will just connect the two wires and hide them and keep start button.

Thanks for all the responses guys , I had no idea it was such a controversial subject! My other bike, an xs bobber, only has a kill switch and no ignition key but is in a hidden place so of no use in an emergency. It's not that I'm against a kill switch, it's just that I can't think of a...

Can anyone tell me how to delete my kill switch on a stock 1979? I just want to get rid of that whole right hand control and use a small starter button. I'm trying for a clean simplified look and there is zero info about this which is surprising...I can't be the only one wanting to do this...

Thanks for the vote of confidence Oscar! That was originally the idea I set out to do was to gain knowledge of my bike and boost my skills in that region. I will definitely take you up on your offer with some help much appreciated!

You are absolutely right. Maybe it's time for me to grow a set of balls and get my hands dirty. It's just that the wiring even though it simplified is a bit daunting to me since it's not my strong point. The bike runs great with just the battery so I'm asking myself why am I even doing the...
