Yip, I broke the tip off the front brake light switch (didn't know about the shim in the front brake lever trick). Rather than installing a new switch - which is a pita, I epoxied a small piece of plastic to the end of the switch and put everything back together. Works fine for now - hope it last. Anyone else glue a piece to the switch to fixe it??

 

I have a tiny screw threaded in to the center of the button that gets pushed down... Cause friends would say that when I hit bumps on the road my brake light would flash. I got tired of peeps telling me I think you have an elec. problem... lol

 

Mine has been out for about 3 years now. I have the new switch in my toolbox but still never seem to find time to put it in.

 

Been there done that!!!!

 

Can anyone tell me the part number for the switch???????????
My brake light works periodically, I think the switch is goosed............

Glued my works for now, have one on hand from Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

 

Used a security tag from a DVD cut in half. The adhesive sticks to the back of the brake lever, and it's exactly the right size. If/when the adhesive gives up, I'll just buy another DVD and do it again.

 

Don't feel bad I broke mine too. HD - 75 bux, Dkirk -17, adhesive on spacer priceless.

 

I just broke mine too....doh!! Any pics of where to epoxy or place adhesive....I don't want to take anything more apart to wreck lol.....would appreciate a pic/link or diagram of what to do...many thanks!
