Why is my brake light on after Changing my Handle bars
Why am I getting a code for my front brake and my brake light is , Cruise wont work , I just changed my Handle bars. Could I have a wire wrong? I check the front brake switch and it will not go off .

Did you read the Harley Davidson service manual before removing the controls from the handlebars? IIRC, the manual for my '04 says that I need to wedge something like a small piece of cardboard between the lever and the brake light switch plunger to keep it depressed while the control is removed in order to keep it in place. You may have to buy a new front brake light switch. The plunger on mine is tiny and fragile.

I wouldn't touch anything unless I go through the manual because you can come up against so many issues if you don't read the fine print. There could be a workaround that one of the long time owners may have come up with.
