Default annaul brake switch

this time the rear brake switch popped will i was riding back from work friday during emergency braking to stop from becoming one with a cage... i lost the rear brake completely... i didn't check it out till today but this time i actaully lost alot of brake fluid... DOT4 fluid sat on my painted frame all weekend while i was out of town... guess what,,,paint is fubar on the bottom of the frame... i replace this switch every year and every year i have to bleed the brake cause i loose fluid pressure even though HD says it doesn't effect the brakes workability... HD recalled the airhead bikes with the same brake switch but i guess they are triing to get rid of the vrod riders so they can go back to all air head bikes...
