    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Wow, what a surprise!

I bought a new master cylinder from a great guy here on the forum, and when I installed it, I realized that the rear brakelight switch on my old one was missing! There was literally no switch on the cylinder assembly!

So anyway, I have this new one now, but I'm not sure where to connect it on my bike so the rear brakelight will light. I looked through my Clymer guide, but I didn't see any relevant pictures. Can anyone give me a visual description, or maybe take a picture?

Thanks in advance!
 
Sorry I can't give you a pic but I've never figured out how to post them on the site and my camera is on the fritz also.
As long as your wiring harness isn't butchered, just plug the wires from the new switch into the matching wires tucked into your headlight bucket. Orange to orange. White to white.
 
I didn't see any "free" plastic plug-things in the wiring harness. What do they wire to?

Thanks for your response, by the way!
 
Nevermind, I ended up doing a trace on all the wires and found where they had been severed. Thanks again for your response!
