Ignition switch
1975 GT550. I am thinking of replacing the stock gauge set with some aftermarket smaller ones on my cafe bike. How can I ditch the stock switch and convert to a simple toggle switch or two?
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: Ignition switch
Do you want to wire it with the headlight always on?
Want to keep the parking light setting that lights the taillight?

Re: Ignition switch
Or you could move the switch to say a headlight ear or under the tank with a little extra wire.

Re: Ignition switch
I like the idea of moving the switch. That way everything would function as normal.

Re: Ignition switch
Could also use the little bracket they had for relocating the T250/T350/T500 ignition switch to the upper triple clamp.
Looks something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Universa ... 0531299913
Saw them on eBay a while back. Good change Paul Miller has one.
