Kill Switch
Anyone with suggestions on how to install a kill switch on my 1970 T350? Thanks.

Re: Kill Switch
Take a look at how the kill switch is wired up on a GT250.
The orange wire is the hot wire running from the ignition switch to the loads.
The coil orange wires connect to that orange hot wire.
Wire up the kill switch so that it connects to
1) the orange hot wire
2) the two coil orange wires

Re: Kill Switch
Appreciate the info. Thank you. BTW, where in SW PA are you from? I was born near Johnstown and went to school at PSU in Uniontown. Many moons ago on both!!! Used my GT380 as my commuter for several years there.

My first new bike was a black 1976 GT380.
Should have never sold it.

Re: Kill Switch
My GT380 was a red 1972. Had lots of bikes through the years, but that one was special. Rode it everywhere. Daytona twice, southern Illinois, no trip was too far. Comfortable and reliable (at least that's the way I remember it). Going to have to acquire another one one of these days.
