Ignition Switch and a whole load of other questions...

(1/1)

Hugh Jass:
I want to fit a single headlight and the ignition switch is in my way so I have taken it off. I'm also going to zap off the aluminium circle and bits that I don't need with my angle grinder.

I need to wire up a new switch that will incorporate the starter as well, so I can throw the right hand switch gear in the bin.
Anyone got any advice on that?
I also am fitting renthal 789's to the bike which I am guessing will need longer throttle cables and clutch cables too? I think I can buy a unbiversal kit and make my own carn't I? Putting a few wire extensions into the left hand switch gear should be no problem if needed.
Single headlight should hopefully be easy to wire up. Do I just forget about the other headlight feed and leave it blank on the bike?
The origonal speedo is huge and I want to replace it with a 48mm cable driven one I have. So I have got a thundercat speedo drive but that has different internals, how can I marry the fazer internals with the Thundercat internals? Do I just cut off what I want and use my soldering iron to melt them together? Or if I buy a lot of fizzy drinks would the plastic from the bottle tops be about right and I could just melt that into the thundercat speedo and shape it so it fits into the holes?
Yes I know that I have lost my steering lock, so I am going to weld a couple of tabs to the bottom yolk and the frame so I can put a padlock through it when I am away from the bike. Or is there a better solution?

Hugh Mungus:
Ignition switch. This one has starter position like a car.

Don't buy one that has wires coming out as they tend to be a bit flimsy and break off and then you're in the poo.
