I'm converting a street ex 500 to a race bike, today I removed all the lights, the horn drained all the coolant, found a tail section that I had lying around that will fit. Still alot of work to do before it's ready.

I was taking off the kickstand and found two wires attached and im assuming it's a kickstand safety switch and im wondering how I disconnect these wires properly so that the bike thinks the kickstand is up. Or if it's not a kickstand switch what is it?
What bike?
Check the switch side (i.e., on the sidestand) with the stand folded and extended. Probably you will find that there is continuity across the terminals on the switch when the stand is up, but not when it is down. If that is the case all you need to do is connect those two wires together so it seems like the stand is always up. If it is the opposite then you just need to keep the two wires insulated from each other.
I feel dirty, you made me go to snow city :angry2:
Installed 1.0kg/mm springs today. Should be a better match for the 10.7kg/mm (600lb/in) rear spring.

Fixed a couple of pesky little issues that came up in SOAR round 3.
I traced the odd clutch feel to a linkage that was out of adjustment - there is one adjustment at the clutch lever and another one at the linkage at the bottom - that bottom one had run out of slack, probably due to recently-installed clutch plates getting bedded in.
And, I cleaned the brake calipers and pushed fluid backwards through them and it seems that this *finally* got rid of a pesky air bubble that must have been in there somewhere. Brake lever feels fine now.
Still need to swap to VRRA bodywork for next weekend at Grand Bend.

Last night started spooning the roasted R10s off from Round 3, chipped my powdercoat, mashed by finger, got ******, threw a wrench at the wall, called Adrian (Ace Moto Tech) and had him install new buns with his fancy new machine. Oil, filter and a once-over tonight, then all set for Calabogie with Pro6 at the end of the month.
Bought a new race hauler for my bike last night.
Tonight I do an oil change, tire change, install the pitbull trailer restraint in the new trailer, then remove the Quickshifter... Again... And send it back to Bazzaz... Again...

What did you get for a hauler? Sounds like your having as much luck with quick shifters as me.
I'm doing a front fork spring swap, triple clamp offset change, and a rear wheel/tire swap tonight. Hopefully my replacement QS sensor comes in so I can install it before the weekend.
