no kill switch on this model.
I get a better response from facebook members than I do on here.
to me this forum has gone down the pan in these last few years.

Hey John,

In fairness to Sundial members, in case you did not know, the bandwidth limit for the month of October was reached shortly (possibly just a few hours according to the date of your post)after your post.........so any people familiar with the T500 may not had not even seen your post before then.

About the time at least I was going to reply....the monthly bandwidth limit had been reached.

Anyway, the parts fiches would show that there was no kill switch installed by Suzuki prior to the '76 GT500 with the exception, as you already know, of the '75 T500 which was manufactured in the second half or 1974 for the '75 line and the kill switch is not shown in the parts fiches I have seen. Just as the '75 T500 shares a common kill switch with the GT500, same with the swing arm, at least on my '75.........the one with the pivot up passenger foot pegs on the swing arm.

Are you going to install a kill switch off a '75T/'76-'77 GT500?

Here's hoping you get the bike just as you want it :up: and with your newly acquired bike, I'm glad to see you are a member of the 'T500 Family'.........again. :wink:

I wont be fitting a kill switch.
rear foot peg is mounted directly on to the silencer. so I'l be making a bracket to raise it up to keep my wifes heels off.
also I'll be making a ignition bracket similar to the GT185 unless any member has one to sell.
theres a couple on ebay but wanting silly money for them.
