Default Brake light
I've got an 06 Fat Boy and the break light works with the hand lever (front brake), but not the foot brake. Any suggestions where I should start to fix this. Thanks

There is a pressure switch on a T fitting in the the line after themaster cylinder.
You might start by checking that the connectors haven't been loosened or knocked off.
The next step would be to use an ohm meter to see if its tripping when the brake pedal is pressed.
It may have gone south on you.
