Default Front Brake control

Went out to ride the Shovel Saturday and found a puddle of brake fluid on the floor under the front brake control.

$100.00 worth of parts later she's back together. Not a hard project but that leaking brake fluid over the years ate every wire connection in the switch housing. The brake light switch was also shot. Didn't expect to have to reapir all the wiring when I started the project. A PIA, no doubt, but it's done.
Took it out tonight & put 60 miles on it...
