i'm gonna rewind my stator w/in a few weeks time and i figured i might as well try to hook up a microswitch on the lever and get a brake light. it shouldn't be too hard but i don't know about all those older monkey and gorilla parts, i thought maybe one of those levers/switches should work but i don't know. has anyone done this? would it drain too much juice from the headlight? if it's gonna be too much of a pain i'll just forget it but i though it'd be cool to have one on the streets. and has anyone found a good waterproof switch to use for the headlight? i wanna have be able to turn it off.

i got this one at the honda dealer

cool so have you rigged it up and gotten it to work? does it just wire in-line to the brake light? (like a circuit i guess). and... is that a coloring book??

yes it just wires it into the circuit,you pull the cable closes the ground you have brake light,the older z 50's had these on the front and rear brakes
and no its not a coloring book
it is a design im putting on a guitar

Yes , it will
the older bars were real tall
im gonna use it on my set up when i do lights
i got bars and 70 forks
plenty long enough for it

thanks a lot man. should i run a separate circuit for the headlight and brakelight?? i guess i'll have to since i wanted to hook up an on/off switch for the headlight.

headlight and tail light should be one circuit
and the brakelight will be another
