Yeowtch! I'll save that cash for tickets & suspension. What do we think this means (from the speedymoto site) "Note: Banjo style brake switch is required in order to have a rear brake switch."
It means the pressure switch goes in the banjo bolt. Not actuated by the lever motion.
Yep - some of the more 'racey' rearsets don't have any accommodations to mount the stock mechanical switch that the lever trips to work the light. The pressure switch is usually configured to take the place of a banjo bolt that connects your master to the brake line. It's got a simple pressure tripped diaphragm switch that'll trigger you light when the pressure in the brake line goes up. Easy as that.

OK because I have no freakin' CLUE:
1. What is a banjo bolt?
2. Where is a banjo bolt?
3. What is pressure switch?
4. Where is a pressure switch?
5. What is a rear brake switch?
6. Where is a rear brake switch?
Now is a fine time to tell me not to worry my pretty little head. Clearly any grease under my fingernails is from washing my bike.

1. It's a specialty bolt that will have passages drilled in it. They are used to connect portions of fluid or air transfer systems.
2. On our bikes it's used to connect any of the hydraulic master/slave parts to the lines. So each bike (with 2 front calipers) has 7. 1 for each master (3), 1 for each caliper (3) and for the clutch slave. Though the connection to the clutch slave is technically a banjo-bleeder.
A banjo-bleeder combines the features of a banjo bold and a hydraulic fluid bleeder. So it connects the clutch line to the slave and allows fluid to move into the slave. It's also got a bleeder nipple that can be opened to allow one to bleed air/fluid from the clutch hydraulics
5. It's the electric switch that triggers your brake light when you press the rear brake lever. You'll also have a similar switch on your front brakes, have a look under the master and you'll see a little black box with wires running from it.
6. It's tucked back inside the rearset, right by the rear brake master
3. Just a different sort of electrical switch. Instead of some mechanical action tripping it (think flipping a light in your house), it's tripped by a change in pressure. Your oil pressure sensor is a pressure switch.
4. You don't have one at the moment. If you were to install one, it would replace the Banjo bolt that connects the rear master cylinder to your rear brake line.
Don't worry your pretty little head ;D. This stuff only really matters if you want to swap out to some rearsets that don't use the stock switch.
