Default Clutch lever for E brake delete mod?

Is there a clutch perch I can use if I remove the parking brake (since I dont need the second handle)? Due to the clutch safety switch (for starting) you can't just use a regular MX perch. I'm thinking of cutting the top of the perch off and grinding it smooth. Any ideas...pics?
thx J

Look up "blob removal". Even if you leave the "blob", there is lots or related info about tossing that stock perch and the types of replacements.

I did shave the original one on my quad before I removed the blob. I was going to do it on the kids too (in the pic) but I picked up that clutch lever and perch for $15 or so at a local shop. The handle has a shorter reach as well so it worked out good for his smaller hands.

All you have to do is cut and tie the 2 wires from the safety switch and you bypass it. It will start without pulling in the clutch in N but just roll a bit in gear. no big deal really

Good stuff guys! I didn't really want to remove the safety switch because my kids are always sitting and playing on the quad in the garage, I'm afraid of a mishap.

Is it possible to keep the stock perch but get rid of the parking brake line?

Here is my low buck solution, I didn't want to remove the clutch safety switch, so I decide to shave the e-brake crap off the stock perch.

Before:


After cutting off top part of perch (aka blob):
