Wiring conundrum on a race bike

I followed instructions which Greggo kindly emailed me regarding removing the ignition switch and running the bike through the kill switch on the handlebar. I’ve now got a question that wasn't covered in Greg's excellent instructions and I hope someone can answer it for me.

My question is regarding the blue/orange wire which ‘normally’ runs from the ignition switch to the fuse box – through the fuse and back through a black/blue wire to the fan... [In Greg's instructions I soldered this blue/orange wire to the yellow/red wire which comes from the kill switch] ...However as I’ve removed the fan and subsequently the black/blue wire, does this mean that I can cut out the blue/orange wire altogether, as it now runs to one end of a fuse and that’s it.

Am I right in thinking that the blue/orange wire gets soldered to the and yellow/red (kill switch wires) because you can then keep the fan?

Hope this makes sense to someone.

If your not running a fan then do away with the blue/orange cable and the black/blue cable altogether. Also the green can be removed from the motor connector back to wherever its next soldered.

No problem Greg, I've not been near the bike for ages anyway so there was no panic. ;)
