I run Wiseco's, so can't help on the JE question.  However would like to know more about the chair in your avatar.  Looks like a 10", with a Guzzi??

What is it about red 10" Windles with SOHC's, that they seem to have a habit of spitting out drivers. :o  Hope everyone was OK Tony.  As there is a new chair fender on it at Mallory, assume that was after Silverstone.  Is that a Pace dry sump tank??

Come one mate I run 13's.

Can I offer my 2 cents worth on the kill switch Tony.
We no longer run a switch as such anymore.
Been let down by to many over the years.
We have cut the power wire to the ignition at an accessible point and attached two female spade fittings(one each end), then fix the ends with two wire ties on each end, make a 2 inch loop with a male spade fitting on each end, fix your lanyard to the loop via a wire tie then attach the loop to the female fittings on your ignition wire as a bridge.
Make a spare loop and attach to the bike as a spare.
Jobs done and it won't let you down.

Cheers,
Brian
