any idea????
So I removed all my forward hand controls when I took off my blinkers on my bike. I'm running a side mount taillight license plate as well. Now my problem is when I removed my right housing it took off the senser for my tail light to go on when I hit my front brake. I asked around people say that they don't make anything only if I were to put the control on or run a pressure switch. Anyone know if its true or not.

The switch is in the grip mount. The brake light switch is operated by the brake lever depressing the switch. If the two are not together, there's nothing to make the light illuminate...
If you have reinstalled the parts on the handle bar and the light still doesn't work, you may have broken the switch. You should have placed a spacer between the brake lever and the switch housing before removal...
If you did that correctly and it still doesn't work, you may have made a mistake upon re-assembly...
If you are saying that you purposely removed the controls that engaged the front brake light, maybe you could put a coupler where the brake line splits and install a pressure switch just like the one on the rear brake?
Oh yeh, what model/year bike is it we are speaking of?

So you took off the housing that's means the switch is gone so unless you put that part back your only choice would be to run a pressure switch like the one on the back brake. You would then have to run wiring from it to connect to rear lights. You would probably have to get custom brake lines made and find spot on head of frame to attach pressure switch.
