Parking brake removal questions

[robert.b.west]

Can I just remove the parking brake line. I know I also need to something with the safety switch there but do I need to just cut the wires and leave them open or do I need to short them. (I am assuming leave them open)

just follow it down to the plug and disconnect it. you should remove all your TORS if you havent done so already. you can remove the ebrake but you will have a little pocket on the caliper thats open. so you can buy a block off plate for like 15 bucks but you dont "have" to have it

When I removed mine I also took a four inch grinder to the parking brake part that sticks out on the clutch lever.............

Thanks as for the TORS I have not removed them. I was planning on getting it ported this summer so I figured I would need new carbs anyway so I did not see the point of doing it.

well you can still bypass the actual tors its self and not spend the money on the kit.

Do you mean unplugging them so they don't do anything?

Yes, you can bypass the 'electrical' portion of the system and still use the 'mechanical' portion of the system. Unplug the carb switches, the throttle switch, and the control unit switch and the electrical portion will be bypassed.

 

Then put the control unit in your bench vise and give it a little 'love' and turn it into a pancake.
