Default Brake Light Switch.

I replaced the brake light switch on my 1964 Duo Glide today. Had to pull jiffy stand and bracket. Pull rocker clutch bracket to be able to get at brake light switch better. Got it all back together. Brake light operates like it should.

Definitely not a fun job, but definitely an important component. Glad you got it done and they function accordingly.

The rear line is the one you could complain about - the inner primary needs to come off to do it - have the correct tool to remove it in place the brake switch

Nice pics. I was fortunate to just be able to remove jiffy stand and foot clutch bracket. To get replacement accomplished.1 inch open end wrench. Something I could do almost blindfolded. Since I have been wrenching on this scoot for 46 years. LOL. Great to see some movement here.
