Front brake light switch

It's normally wise to use minimal effort to maximum effect, so I would do exactly as you suggest. Use the existing wiring, and modify the terminals to fit the new switch.

There's an orange wire and what appears to be a black wire (I only took a quick glance, I'll go back out when it gets above 35 degrees). However, the prongs on the front master cylinder aren't labeled. Are they specific to positive or negative, or can either wire go to either prong?

Electrical items aren't my strong suit. I think you'd be ok either way, but I'd suggest try one way - if it doesn't work, try the other. You can't hurt anything if you pick the wrong way round first time.

There is no polarity on the brake switch, the wires can be connected either way.

You and I have the exact same bike. Mine was made 11/79.
