excellent explanation sandman!
blackbird- i also eliminated all wiring from my bars- i built a box under the seat (where the air box was)that holds all the electrical components (fuse box, igniter, relays, etc)- on the left side of the box i mounted the factory key switch, starter button, and horn button- i eliminated the kill switch altogether as the key(ignition) switch does the same thing(when in the off position)- i then mounted my hi/lo beam and turn signal switches in the headlight bucket- looking back i should have mounted the key switch on the right side of the bike so i could shut it off with my right hand instead of my clutch hand- basically i tore the whole wire harness apart eliminating everything unnecessary for a much cleaner look- all the switches i used came from the local ace hardware- hope this helps- keep choppin-
