where to buy front brake light switch?
« on: May 07, 2010, 02:11:01 PM »
My bike is missing the front brake light switch from the lower triple tree and I was wondering where I can purchase one. I cant seem to find a source.

if you're looking for function over fashion, there are these that replace your MC banjo bolt. this is just one example. you can shop around and probably find even cheaper

I think Dave Silver has sourced an aftermarket one that fits straight in
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).
