key switch relocation


premixonly

Recommended Posts

Im trying to come up with idea's of where to relocate my key switch, but nothing's coming up. Right now it's in the stock position, hook up on that big black box in the middle of the bars :shootself: . i was hopping for some idea's and pictures from you guys of where you located your key switch or what you think i should do with it.

 

thanks again !

they do make nice billet brackets for the handle bars , but i had a banshee once and the guy i got it from just took the key out of the big plastic box and cut the wire's added just enough wire and mounted the key under the seat... he tucked the wires along the gas tank. it was so slick that i didnt notice it till i cleaned the filters .. the only problem i ever had was when he added more wire he just taped it banghead .... i shrink wrapd it . worked great.

I made this out of a piece of 1 x 2 scrap angle alum I had laying around...

Used the plastic mount for a template for the hole and just filed it out to fit. Didn't need to splice any wire into the harness either. Just CAREFULLY cut the wires free that you need to the switch and re-wrap the harness once you have the switch re-located. It's very inconspicuous, even when you open it in front of people most don't notice it tucked under like that.

Best way is to just upload them to photobucket.com and just paste the image link (last one) on here. That way you don't have to mess around with resizing them. :cheers:

Like my Blaster , I just deleted the key altogether , all I run is a killswitch . When I go riding ( dunes , harescrambles etc ) I have a 15 foot chain/cable Lock I secure it with ( doubles as a tow strap ) . I like to keep things as simple as possible , so the removal of little stuff like that makes life easier . I like that spare plug holder , I'm gonna have to make one of those .

I did the same thing.. just splice the two wires together, use a tether as the key. Also got ride of the big black blob for on/off and headlights. Rewiring the banshee is pretty simple. I have a toggle switch now for the headlights, On (High) and off.

 

Simplicity looks cleaner to me.

I replaced my key with an inline blade fuse holder. that way you can still make it unstartable, by removing the fuse. hidden real easy, get the proper waterproof ones with the cap.

good idea on the light/kill switch, I might piss that off next, and just use my tether as a kill.

I took a piece of aluminium stock and bolted it to the T.O.R.S. box braket and mounted a toggle to it. hard to see and out of the way. Just A suggestion
