    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Here is what I did with a stock gs kill switch to make it fit with a push pull throttle assembly that is a mush with all flatslide carbs.

Pull the casing apart and you will see the throttle housing area can be taken off. There is a double wall so if you are careful the throttle area can be taken off and it looks good to go.

The one in the pics was very old one and has been repainted with flat primer.

Its just a alternative to buying and wiring a smaller killer from some other bike.

How about a push pull throttle off a 77-79 gs750. Has a kill switch on it. I took the push cable off. Works alot nicer with just a pull cable on smoothbores.
 
That will work too but this way you don't have to search for another part. Personally I think the two parts look better than one combined unit.

Also, I don't think the plug will work on the early 80's bike so there will be wiring to do.

This is just a simple easy way to get the job done.

AND ABOUT REMOVING THE PUSH..........NOT a good idea. The smoothy's have a lot of vacuum and tend to stick WIDE OPEN. I have 7 bolts and a plate in my shoulder to prove it.

70 torino ehhhhhh..... I had a 70 GT and put in a 351 cobra engine out of a pantera. c6 tranny with shift kit 4000 stall converter, B&M ratched shifter, cobra valve covers, shaker hood, dual mallery, huge hookers. My sisters boyfriend paced me and said she was doing 147mph. NOt too bad for a 2ton beast. I wrote her off shortly after that.................ooooooooooops
