I grew up without side stand switches, & never needed one, looks like you didn't need yours either. Its removal makes your bike that much more bullet proof (no pun intended). Good work!
Next consider watching the U-tube video about removing the plug-in 6" pigtail behind the headlight. After doing this YOU can turn YOUR LIGHT on & off. I'm using a 7" reflector with a extra socket for a Pilot light, wired to the running/parking light circuit. Running my LED pilot bulb keeps me legal, while keeping my electric consumption down & my charging capability up.
I also use a red LED Tail/Brake light bulb, to save amps.
I feel all these measures are reliability improvements on U.S. DOT Nanny State foolishness.
