Whenever I work with the throttle side, switch assembly or otherwise, I always shim the brake lever. I use the thick side of a zip tie and insert in between the the brake lever and the perch. This take the load off the brake switch plunger which is very delicate.
Hope this helps.

I put the iso grips on mine, it's TBW, and didn't shim anything. Nop problems. Just be careful when you don't pinch any wires. There is an indention on the bars for the wires to go into the housings. Make sure to line it up right and you should be fine. My bars are stock, powdercoated.
I think I may have misunderstood about the shim. What you do is pull the brake lever and place a piece of cardboard or ziptie or whatever you want to use, but place it where it keeps the lever pulled so it stays off the switch plunger.
