brake light wiring?

[Mike Sal]

Do we need to install a Bat Phone & a Bat searchlight for Wayne?  With only one vendor to depend on, we're up the creek every time he leaves the house.

Talked to Wayne this morning & he says he doesn't have any brake light switches (early or late).  I went to the company website (cole Hersee) & they don't list the numbers anymore (9071 for late model....9109 for early).  They have switches which are very similar (I suspect the drilled hole for the wire may be the difference.  No. 9055 is an example.  Anyway, I'm going to monkey with one of them (my bike came with a plastic brake light switch from a car).

Those of you with late model bikes (brake swich under the rear lower bar), do you also have a wire that pulls on the switch?  If so, where does the wire hook to?

I hooked mine to the break lever. It had a extra hole just below were my break rod was connected. Works ok I think.

Yes, Those are the switches.....I couldn't find them on their official website.  I wonder why these guys have them listed.  Wayne told me he has a hard time getting them & they usually make him order a bunch at a time.
I'm going to take a copy of that page you posted to the parts store tomorrow & see what they have to offer.

Rick, does your bike also use a cable between the switch & brake pedal?
