Default Brake light stuck
Have a 06 BOB, light is stuck. Craked both bleeder and check both levers to make sure they are not stuck. Also pulled fuses and unhooked them. Anyone run into this problem. I am sure its a short but have no idea where to start at...........thanks

Had that happen to me. There was gap between the right grip switch housing and the front brake lever where the two meet on the handlebar. I Loosen the torx screws and slid one end down so they met. The brake light went off. Hope this makes since. Drove me crazy trying to figure out what was wrong.

Could be the brake switch in the right handcontrol or it could be the rear switch. Did you try unpluggin the two wires from the rear switch to see if the brake light went out?

I would say its the switch in the handle bar. That is a very poor setup in my opinion.
