Nice thread TomU - hope to post my own one day as I have a 72 Combat as well.Here’s one reason to keep the kill switch. Many years ago I lived in the country north of Mission BC and went down across the border to Sumas to bar hop. Coming home in the wee hours after crossing the border I gave some full throttle and it stuck on full. Ran home about 30 miles using kill switch to shift and control speed. Didn’t want to stop and attempt repair in case a cop came by or I couldn’t fix and then would be walking. Next morning back to normal operation and I concluded there was moisture and then frost in the cables ( it was winter and a very frosty night).Best of luck on your upcoming test ride.
