Default Front brake light switch relocation
Sorry if this has been hit on before i couldn’t find any info on it. Im doing 14” bars on my 06 night train and in the process getting rid of all the switch gear off the bars. Im still using the factory perches however i just ordered some Lowbrow customs block offs for the factory perches. Now im trying to figure out what to do about the brake light switch. Its housed in the switch box and im not to sure on how to get it to function now with the stock brake perch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Use a small pressure switch similar to the rear, further down the brake line.
