hydraulic switches
Good call on the Dennis Kirk, a bit more consitent quality than buying from ebay.
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I am fairly certain that all of our pre 2000 Suzuki take a 10mm-x1.00mm thread for the banjo's.
um...here is a link to a 10mm single banjo brake light switch, from Dennis Kirk.

and here's one for the double banjo, also from Dennis Kirk.

I was able to make the time to install my Dual Banjo switch.(no, not the "da-da-ling-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" type, unfortunately)
OMG, the crud that came out of the lines! I know they weren't anywhere near "line new" condition, but wow, the crud.
I feel much safer now, knowing the brake system is clean(rebuilt calipers too). There will be no more glancing at the gauges to see if they dim from the brake lights coming on when I am slowing down in traffic!
The hydraulic switch is much more sensitive than I could get the mechanical one to consistently be. Just a light squeeze on the lever (maybe 1/2 of the distance it takes to begin applying the brakes) and the light triggers.
I also installed the stainless lines and she will stop scary fast now.
On a side note:
Soon to come, the $2.00 brake vacuum bleeder tutorial.
