Default Front Brake Light Switch

I am sick of changing out the front brake light switch which is located
on my handlebar master cyl assembly. It's a crappy little switch and I'm
sure the stuff I'm getting is Chinese crap. Is there a better switch? Thinking about installing something in the hydraulic line like the rear brake. Haven't
had the front brake light working for a while but it's nice to let the guy behind me know I'm slowing down.
Thanks,
Dave

Easy to do...if you want it hidden, put a tee in the brake line under the lower triple tree...if you want easy and don't care if it is hidden...use a banjo bolt switch.

Thanks,
That is what I need to do. I don't know if it's me or the replacement
button switches are just crap.
