It's ok jinx, the mention of the other forum isn't the problem really. The issue for me is mostly about safety of any inexperienced rider who maybe would think it's ok to disable what is a protective feature [albeit somewhat inconvenient at times]. That's a strong personal opinion and really not a 'moderator' opinion because this forum is all about the free and open exchange of information. In that respect I think it's enough that the other 'darker' side of doing such a modification has been disapprovingly expressed and we can let ppl make up their own minds. If someone wants to cut the speed sense wire or do some other mod, be it on their own head now.
