Relocating the kill switch was an easy decision. It was independent of the starter switch and didn’t interfere with any other electrical system. The starter switch is another story because the headlight is wired into it. It took me a few days to decide to separate the two systems mainly because I couldn’t find the proper switch small enough to fit inside the bars. Actually, I did find a switch but no one had it in stock, anyway I’m glad I went the other way and separated the headlight from the starter switch. It looks good, and the “Brit Style” switch lets me turn off the headlight when I desire (or forget to turn it on like my ride this afternoon).
Luckily these headlight brackets had cosmetic holes in them begging to be filled with mini switches. Clearly, down is the off position and up is the on position.
What is the amp rating on these switches? Any part numbers/sources? Thanks!!
HI. Great question. I’m not sure what the amp rating is. I picked up these switches at my local Radio Shack I only had two criteria for choosing the switches. 1. They had to have the proper poles and 2. They needed to be itty bitty. I assume that since the bike is running a 12v system that any switch at Radio Shack would be adequate. I could of course be wrong but I haven’t had any problems yet.
