1978 CB550 Front Brake Light Switch
« on: February 07, 2015, 09:36:56 AM »
When I bought my 78 CB550 it had an aftermarket front brake lever. The aftermarket brake lever has connections for a brake light switch but are not connected to anything. My questions is, did the stock front brake lever have a brake light switch or was the only brake light switch triggered by the rear brake lever?

The stock 550 has an in-line switch which is bolted to the lower triple.

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.
