Front Brake Switch Replacement Instructions

Does anyone have a step by step instruction tutor with pictures on how to replace the
%$#@& front brake switch? I need to order one as the brake lights are sticking on after I replaced the damn grips. Yeah, yeah I know....

Thanks!
John

Not a lot of instructions to it really. Just have to cut the wires and solder it in and use heat shrink. Be sure to use the shim.

Exactly what he said. Pretty straight forward. I took several pictures of mine before I removed the switch, just so I could see which way the shim went in and how the wires were jammed in there.
