Part needed locally

Hey all,

The damn brake light banjo bolt for my front brakes has apparently failed and is no longer lighting up my rear brake.

Anyone know a shop locally that carries these? Ideally I'd like this fixed for the weekend.

I got one of those pressure switches when I bought some rearsets a while back and never used it. I have no idea if it'll work, but it's yours if you want it. Lemme go out to the garage and get more info on it.

[MendoDave]

Will those things work on front brakes with the coffins?

[DanTheMan]

If you locate one in the south bay let me know and i can get it for you.

[Drunken Monkey]

Thanks folks.

Micheal, yours probably won't do the trick as it needs to be a double banjo bolt for two lines. So unless you have some super funky rear break setup 

[MendoDave]

So this thing just replaces the stock banjo bolt and it has the switch on the end?
Just askin cause I'm tired of the little micro switch & plunger setup.

[Drunken Monkey]

Exactly right. It's a combination double banjo bolt and pressure switch (also available in single line model)

The downside: Apparently they are just as failure prone as the microswitches.

Anyone? Bueler? Anyone?

[DanTheMan]

Try Nichols, they sometime have used stuff laying around

[MendoDave]

You can have my micro switch.

Stopped in at Desmotosport today on my way home from dropping the scooter off for a new tire.

No only was Scott open, but he had the part in stock  

Plus he gave me a set of bar ends to give out as part of tomorrow's Monster Challenge!

And just to make things perfect, I ran into petemg there and he gave me a lift home

Scott

Amen.

Didn't that work out well!

Oh, and there must have been something in the air there, because as I was outside warming up the S2R, who should roll up but DQ on the Blue Roach. Wild.

[desmoquattro]

Amen.
