Default no brake lights!!

I just put new bars on my 48 and rode a few hours till my blinkers and speedo quit working! I replaced the fuse and the blinkers work and so does the speedo but my hand and foot brake do not activate the brake light! Any suggestions

Not so much the foot brake (rear), but did you accidentally damage the front brake switch while removing/installing Right-side controls? Also, if you lost lighting, there might be a pinched wire, or short somewhere along the control wire routing...might have to tear things apart to assess (unfortunately). Good luck!

no pinched wires but the actuator that the lever pushes in is the problem, when i tighten down the lever and housing the brake lights stay on. i guess I'm having trouble getting the lever to match up correctly
