For those who have removed the Parking Brake assembly: Do you retain the stock clutch/parking brake perch, or do you go to an aftermarket (XR400?). If aftermarket is the way to go, what do I do with the safety switchs etc. inside of the stock perch assembly.

Thanks for your time.

take the two wires and spice them together...but now you'll starter will work if your even in gear so make sure to always have the clutch in when starting

Go out to speedracingproducts.com and order the blockoff plate and perch/lever and be done with it......the correct way,,and it's not very expensive either..

What happens to all of the safety switches, etc.. Does it retain the stock clutch cable?

Thanks for your help

The only switch is the one on the clutch lever. As McGrathSucks said, once you splice them together you will be able to run the starter at any time. If you don't splice them, you will have to be in neutral to start. Take off the electrical tape and splice them together, then use new tape to re-wrap the wires and yer good to go. I bought a new perch also, but it got sacrificed shortly afterwards in a tumble down the hill I failed to negotiate properly, so I'm back to the stock perch until the wife allows me enough beans to get another perch. I like the ones Rico mentioned at Speed Racing. Simple is good!

Buy the MSR Rapture perch and lever it has 3 settings for how
hard/soft you want to pull. Comes in different colars also!

I bought a Magnum EZ-pull clutch perch and lever with the quick adjust knob. It's sweet and I used the stock clutch cable. Still need to get the blockoff plate.
