Title: 87 front brake switch broken Post by savagerider87 on 08/15/14 at 14:05:47 hey guys, ive got a front brake switch that has a missing piece of copper on one of the two slide contacts. My question is can this be repaired somehow? Or should I replace it?? |

Title: Re: 87 front brake switch broken Post by Steddy58 on 08/15/14 at 19:50:15 I tried repairing a small part on my front brake switch ( 1988 ) and to be honest after several attempts ( and failures ) I bought the whole switch ,even though I only needed a piece of it. For your sanity's sake bite the bullet and go for a new one or working second hand one - unless your an electronics expert with all the kit and skills its not worth the heartache :) |

Title: Re: 87 front brake switch broken Post by mike13 on 08/16/14 at 00:07:29 is the copper rail still attached to the wire? mine has one that slips out of the board have to take it apart again and try epoxy on it and then just buy a new/used one if that doesn't work. |

You can't apoxy metal contacts together, it may stick but it won't work. You can solder the contacts together but the solder is soft and you have to cut into the plastic housing to do it. |

Title: Re: 87 front brake switch broken Post by Seaweednh on 08/16/14 at 19:56:31 For the price of the switch see your local dealer and take yours with you. The one in the picture also mounts inside. They have to put it on the outside so you know what you need. |

Title: Re: 87 front brake switch broken Post by savagerider87 on 08/17/14 at 08:45:11 does anyone know of a part number for the switch? I need the number for the rail style one and if it is used on another bike? I found a salvage yard in Ohio that can get one cheaper than Ebay, but they need a part number.... |
