Couple of questions. CB500.

Spanner1972:
Some more for gents. Sorry. Lol.
Front disc, I've found out it's 4mm thick what about overall diameter and the PCD?
The kill switch, I get what it's for but how does it actually work, wouldn't turning the ignition off have the same effect?

Once again thanks.

The kill switch interrupts the 12V feed to the coils, Turning the key off does that as well, in fact it turns everything off.

hairygit:
Also for the fact that if involved in an accident, and the bike falls on it's left side, you cannot get to the ignition to turn it off, so the kill switch gives a quick way for someone to kill the engine and help prevent fire or blowing the engine if it starts to rev, also, if the throttle jammed open while riding it :o, far easier/safer to reach the kill switch than the ignition switch :D

And burning your hand on the exhausts trying to switch the ignition off  ;D

I thought you were going to use the Honda switchgear anyway.  Being too minimalist isn't a good idea.
