Default removing hand control switches...need help.
Found a place to move switches but not sure what to do about the brake light switch thats in the factory switch housing. Any one have any ideas or know if anyone makes something to address this problem?

banjo bolt on your caliper instead of the MC if you wanted to? or if your running duals up front use a pressure switch like the rear and tuck it under the triple tree? or not run one.

For the triple tree move, place this in line
Brake line junction box deal


For the caliper move place this in line
ebay search for banjo bolt pressure switch

Oh ok I think im on the same page now. so that banjo thing will go where the line comes apart under the triple tree? I think its a 2 piece brake line??? And that has a pressure switch in in instead of the one on the handle bars

Would something like this work? You could take the existing wires running up the bars to the existing brake switch and splice them into the wires on this switch under the tree where the brake line is mounted and just secure the wires to the brake line from the banjo to the tree.
