kills the starter. so you cant start the bike with the clutch out.

Yes, it i supposed to keep the bike from starting with the drive wheel engaged.

thanks guys. that might explain why the bike wouldnt work with the universal perch and lever i bought after the original perch broke at the adjustment screw

just wire the switch leads together, and stuff it in the headlight bucket.

already purchased a replacement stock left controls/perch unit so no need for the universal ones anymore
