Back Brake Switch

Post by L0Ki » 30 Jan 2009, 09:23

I typed the above in the search and it said they are too common and were ignored :S.

Ok Then.

So anyway. My bike doesnt have a rear brake switch or atleast i dont think it does. Cans omeone provide me with some pictures of the setup used on CRM's so i can maybe copy it or see if i actually do have the setup for it but its just not connected or something.

My bike is an MK2.2 93 model.

Cheers

Inline brake switch as BigS has said. They are much easier to use and they get rid of all the tattiness and fragility of the original system. Replaces banjo bolt - fit and forget :D .

Can be seen about 1/3 down this page viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3484&start=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; on top of the master cylinder.

Thanks for the help guys.

Do any of you guys know the size of the banjo bolt and its thread pitch?

Cheers

From memory the pitch is 1.25mm. It is the same as other Hondas.
