    Tether kill switch?

    Does anyone have a good tether kill switch they would recomend to install?

    I need to replace mine and I'm looking for something more reliable.


    cheers

    Looks like someone has taken a traditionally perceived 'Mickey Mouse' subject completely seriously.

    Nice one.

    Dick Smith sell a 2pin male/female plug which used to be about $8 and you can make your own, doesn't look a lot different than the bottom picture in the link Tony.OK put up just minus the handlebar clamp

    i did a review on the normal bike shop ones on here somewhere............they are crapola. I got a Polaris jet ski one and it was beyond brilliant!!

    No cap poorly plugged onto a wonky post thingy, it was a well designed fork that slotted in behind a sprung cylinder.......damn wish I had a picture. was easy to install also and well made.

    Contact Steve at triple x moto in auckland and ask for the same that he sold bret Glazer, he will remember, if it falls apart on you I will buy you another one, they are that good!

    Craig had one shit itself last year at timaru I think, but generally they are pretty reliable.

    I used one of those on one of my bikes, best type I have ever found, the other ones with the little red push on cap are fucking rubbish

    Suzuki one works well and handles water.

    Red push-button sleeve jobs NOT designed to work after seeing any water.

    Then again, if $ is more inportant than reliability, the Suzi one I got was $70... but it works and the red job was a PITA. My $0.02.

    In NZ things that are not quite up to standard are often called "Micky Mouse" it is pretty much interchangeable with "cowboy".
    For example:
    Wharfy says "that plasterer who did my bathroom did a micky mouse job, I had to get him back to fix it" AJturbo replies "yeah ? sounds like he was a bit of a cowboy".

    It's pretty safe to use in any company - except executives or lawyers of Disney Corporation, but being in the animation business you probably figured that out your self

    IMO - A very serious subject, but I have seen some scarey 'DickSmithesq' Mickey Mouse type solutions.

    Best to pay the cash for the safety and security that it will do its job if required.

    EDIT: OK - Wharfy put it a lot better than I could have.
