I have the manual - see a section of the manual below. The ignition switch is called the "Main Switch". There are three wires - red R, brown Br and blue L. The red and brown are slightly thicker. The manual shows the Red wire goes to the tail/brake light. The Brown goes to the fuse box. The Blue also goes to the fuse box. I would like to use a toggle switch - examples shown. Either one - which ever makes sense. One has two lugs, simply positive and negative. The other has three lugs - pos, neg and Load?. Any suggestion as to which switch I should use and how to wire it. I should have pad attention in circuits.... Thanks.

Here's my '78 XS 400 bobber. I cut down the front springs by 2", replaced the the rear shocks with Honda Rebel shocks - 2" lower than stock. Cut up the rear frame, then welded new fender brackets for the re-purposed rear fender and changed the rear tire to a 120/90. Soon to work on seat... -Rick

I'm building an XS400 bobber and I'd like to eliminate the ignition switch and replace it with a simple on/off toggle. I have a water-proof, 50 amp switch. The ignition switch has three wires - two are obviously the heavy amperage main wires which I figure are the ones I need to wire to the switch. But, there is a smaller diameter third wire coming out of the keyed ignition switch. Any thoughts as to what I need to connect this to? The pos or neg side terminal - does it matter? Am I being too simple here assuming I can replace the keyed switch with a simple toggle? Any advise appreciated. Thanks, Rick
