throttle assembly

hey guys have any of you replaced your throttle tube and assembly? i have an 82 xj550 and wanting to get a new after market one, i dont need the kill switch stuff

 

But would you be accepting of a right control assembly that had the kill switch "stuff" on it?

Not to be a smart-alec, but I think there are safety reasons the kill switch is there (not the least of which is to give you a way to kill the engine in an emergency situation, when getting to the key is either impossible, too time-consuming, or if the ignition switch becomes inoperable). As a matter of fact, motorcycle safety courses recommend always shutting off the bike with the kill switch first, to get used to the fact that it's there.

Now back to your original question: Check with Chacal to see what he has left. I got a new throttle tube from him for mine, and I saw at the time that some control assemblies were still available.

 

I agree with SecaMaverick.. I've already done some pretty stupid & unsafe shit to my machine but no way I'd run without a kill switch. I'm thinking about cleaning up the look on my bars eventually too so I know where you're coming from. I've seen a couple guys run a basic throttle assembly (something like this: http://www.tcbroschoppers.com/index.php ... grips.html ) with just a little on/off switch mounted right next to it (something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lucas-Kill-swit ... de&vxp=mtr ). That's kinda' what I've had in mind anyway..
