if you broke the switch when removing the controls, some riders have fixed it witha small screw or JB weld.
you can search for those threads


when the controls are removed from the bars, a shim can be used to prevent damage to the switch.
This is detailed in the service manual

A new front brake switch from HD is about $60.00. A Drag Specialties one is about $16.00. They're kind of a pain to change.......ask me how I know! LOL!!
