Anyone know if the clutch switch can be by-passed so I can use older style chrome switch housings?

 

Find it and put the 2 ends together. I would think it's a normally open switch that closes when you engage the clutch.

 

Sound's like a fix to me.

 

You didn't say what year the bike was. On some of the older police bikes that had the switch, it is easy to bypass. On the newer bikes you will get a check engine light/trouble code...because the "switch" has a resister in it to prevent you from doing just that.
