Title: DP rearsets brake light?
Post by: greenmonster on April 28, 2010, 01:50:03 PM
M900  -97, bought second hand DP rear sets, all is OK, just one Q:

There is one piece w 2 electric connections in one end & something that looks like a banjo
brake fluid line at the other end.

1. How do you fix a rear brake light function w this?
2. Original brake light thingy doesn`t work, right?

All help welcome! ;)

If they are the same flavor as the Motowheel, AG Hammer etc rearsets then no, the stock clicker switch has not place to mount. Hence that pressure switch you've got. It's a banjo fitting as you said, that's got a pressure switch in it. I just installed one for a similar set of rear sears. I didn't want to hack my bikes harness, so I fit the pressure switch with the proper connector. You can get one here:

They say you can crimp the pins on... but trust me - SOLDER THEM. It'll save you a lot of the swearing I did.

Once other catch you may encounter is the stock brake line might be a bit over long. I got a custom line from HEL usa - but spiegler could do you up too. Just note that the banjo fitting that connects to the caliper is not a 90 degree it's more like 75-80 degrees/

No problem. There's another thread that has a good photo of someones route for the stock line on that sort of rear set. Didn't quite work for me, but might for you.
