    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 ordered a replacement rear brake switch because the PO removed it before I bought it. I know how to attach it to the frame but the spring end of it it what is confusing me. It seems awfully short but Im just not sure where its supposed to mount. Anyone have any pictures that can help me out?

This is what I bought:

I was looking at the same thing the other day. Part of the lever inside the frame on the opposite side where the break pedal is located are two small holes. I believe that is where it attaches.

Looks short compared to mine! However, look for brake return spring ( just inside frame), real close to it,there should be a small hole that brake switch spring hooks into. Basscliff might have glossy pics of area!
 
On the frame right above the rear master cylinder you will see what looks like two little u shaped forks welded to the inside of the frame...one nut and washer goes on each asdie of that u shaped holder area, then the spring wire goes down to the hole in the bracket that the master cylinder pushrod attatches to. There should be 2 holes there..one with the pushrod attatched and another for the end of the spring to go into,.
