Yesterday I ride into Burger King and notice the other guys master cylinder is just like mine. However the difference between his and mine is when he squeezes the lever his brakes lights turn on. Mine don't. So I take a close long look at his master cylinder. And to my surprise I don't see any electrical wiring going to it. But yet when he squeezes the brake lever on turn the rear brake lights. What am I missing,

He might have an inline pressure-actuated switch.

At the time the plastic type Switches for my Z type Reservoir were 3 times the cost of an in-line Hydraulic switch soo....,

It could,of course,be fitted almost anywhere in the brake system and doesn't have to be at the top there.

Do you have the two wires that are supposed to go to a switch up where the master cylinder is? If so, and you have the stock master cylinder it's just a matter of getting a switch and adding it back in. If you have the wires there, cross them over with the key on and see if your brake light comes on.



With all those parts you got I'm sure you'll be able to find a switch in there somewhere.

I have at least three stock switches lying around. And yes I do have the two wiring harness brake wires at the master cylinder. Just nothing to hook them up to. I'll take a couple of pics and show you.
