love this doo brake setup. 50$ on ebay

once you guys hit your knee on that stock cat banjo bolt you'll hate it even more.

TSS question???

The TSS will not work with the PowerMadd throttle block. Its a win/lose situation. Win because it eliminates any issues that may arise with the Switch not making, causing a bog, icing up, etc. Lose because it is a safety feature that is no longer there.

I have never had any issues with the couple sleds that I've done this to, Ive just always have installed a tether along with it. What I've done is just cut & cap the black/white wire down by the main harness plug, since its a normally open circuit.

Can the afore mentioned be done on a 4 stroke? I hate that switch and I’ve replaced one already!! I want to delete and go feather!! Any ideas please help

just curious, with these handlebar cleanup kits a person needs to run a tether for safety reasons because you are eliminating the throttle safety switch. And since you are already running a tether, couldn't you also eliminate the kill switch? Or am i over simplifying?

I did ethans cleanup kit with a RSI throttle block I had from my old sled. very nice kit, completely new plug and play harness takes all of the guess work out of things. I also run a TKI reservoir guard and a munster brake lever, CFR boondocker bars and CFR 2" riser.

We`ve started to make this mod to my friends M8000 HCR. Got a question regarding the wiring for the headlights. On stock block there comes 4 wires for headlights:
- Low, high, yellow/purple and black (ground).

How do you connect these with 1-0-2 (low-off-high) switch with 3 pins?

And we have same kinda switch for the grip/thumb heaters. Is there much work to combine these into one switch?
