Broken Front Light Switch
I posted yesterday about me not following instructions when replacing switch covers and broke my brake light switch. I have done a search and found several who have done the same thing.
My question is, for those who have fixed their own, did you splice into the wire or did you run new wire?
I have found replacement switches at JP Cycles and Dennis Kirk. Any experience with either of these or should I get it from the dealer. JP and Kirks prices are about $16 w/o shipping.

When you go to screw the switch covers back together squeeze the brake lever when you are screwing the housings back together. According to the Fix My Hog DVD I watched that should prevent the break light tab from being broken. I'm going to try it when I get back from Afghanistan and get my new bike.
