Title: Brake light switches
Post by Ruttly on 09/09/16 at 21:42:22

Ryca builders what did you use for rear brake light switches ?
I played with magnetic switches,photoelectric switches & micro switches but wound up using a old style that screws to swingarm & spring attaches to brake rod,works great just doesn't look great !

On mine, I used the stock switch - but I relocated it to a place behind the side covers, on the battery box that I built. It is operated by a cable made using bicycle brake cable.

I will get a picture of what I did......

It's screwed to the swing arm? does your brake light flash when you hit a bump?

I will have to check it!
This is gonna be tough!
I'll just lay face down on the seat , use my feet for clutch & throttle , shift with one hand & rear brake with the other , hang my head over the rear of the tracker seat so I can see the brake light and find a bumpy road and check it !
Sounds like fun , Be right back.

Nope doesn't even flicker!
Shock springs a tad on the stiff side.

Yes it's mounted where passenger foot peg was and brake rod is almost parallel to swingarm so angle won't change much. Maybe under hard brake over some bumps might get some wheel hop it might but I doubt it !
