Old bike neutral switch, new harness.. (paging Brad Black)

[Howie]

Since the new style switch is thinner than the old style switch a good machinist could make a threaded insert.

It's the other way around

I will ground my harness' single wire - it works as described. Green light always on, must do blind searches for neutral and make sure I have found neutral before leaving it running on the side stand. Not ideal, but better than my current clutch switch dependency...

Back when dinosaurs walked the earth, dragons ruled the night and guys like me, Howie and DP were teenagers, neutral switches were not invented.  Not much of a problem at all once you adapt to it.  Requires that you pay attention, which is never a bad thing.

Back before neutral lights you could also start your bike sidestand down, hand off the clutch too.  I agree, not too much of a problem unless you need it to pass inspection.

You're all too young 

In my teenage years we only had kickstarters - problem solved 

My engine guy will not sleep before he has found a solution,
but for now it's working ok.
