    Where does the rear brake swith attatch to the arm?

    I ordered a replacement rear brake switch because the PO removed it before I bought it. I know how to attach it to the frame but the spring end of it it what is confusing me. It seems awfully short but Im just not sure where its supposed to mount. Anyone have any pictures that can help me out?

    This is what I bought:

    I was looking at the same thing the other day. Part of the lever inside the frame on the opposite side where the break pedal is located are two small holes. I believe that is where it attaches.

      Looks short compared to mine! However, look for brake return spring ( just inside frame), real close to it,there should be a small hole that brake switch spring hooks into. Basscliff might have glossy pics of area!

        On the frame right above the rear master cylinder you will see what looks like two little u shaped forks welded to the inside of the frame...one nut and washer goes on each asdie of that u shaped holder area, then the spring wire goes down to the hole in the bracket that the master cylinder pushrod attatches to. There should be 2 holes there..one with the pushrod attatched and another for the end of the spring to go into,.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
