    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.

I was in a bind on this one and didn't want to wait two weeks for a replacement. After trying to epoxy my old one (don't ask how it broke), I decided to use the ignition interupt found in the left grip! Using a soldering iron, heat the contacts until the wires come off and solder your right side wires to the other, larger connectors. Screw it in place (fits like a glove)...walah!\\:D/
 
Don't you want the ignition interupt? I'd like a feature like that.

(Just so's you know... It's "Voila", it's french.)
 
The brake switch & the clutch switch (Interupt switch) are the same Just swap them & bypass the clutch switch!!
You can unplug the wire you do not need to unsolder them
 
Yeah, I did that. After trying without soldering, I found the brake light was on without the lever being pulled. I even tried turning it around and the light wouldn't come on until the very end of the braking stroke...hence the resolder. Works like a champ now.
 
could you just get a hydrolic switch? replaces the banjo bolt?

I did that on my 81, worked nice. I think I will do it to my 83 now, just to avoid problems in the future.
 
Dude, i just bought a new switch off eBay....piece o' cake!
