I purchased the bike as an unfinished project and i'm trying to get the brake lights wired up. I picked up a switch, but I don't see any place on the frame where it mounts. Thanks!

GS 750 Rear brake light switch location
Can someone provide a picture showing where/how the rear brake switch is mounted to the frame on a 78 GS750?

I just looked at the fiche on the site that cowboy offered, there is no indication where the switch gets mounted.
The usual location is a tab on the right side, on the tube that goes from the swingarm pivot to the shock mount. It will be 6-8" from the swingarm pivot.

yeah it didn't see anything on that site either. however, there is alot of useful info so i saved it.
the tube that runs from the pivot point to the shock mount...are you referring to the larger diameter tube that runs at an angle up to the upper shock mount/seat area? if so, then the switch is mounted at an angle not verticle correct? is the mount welded to the frame, or a removable bracket?

it might be kinda hard to see in this picture, but is the small round mount on that tube what i'm looking for?

The little round loop that is half-hidden by the frame and would be over the lower corner of the K is the bracket for the rear brake switch.
