Need a part....

[uhfradarwill]

I noticed today that my cruise on my 89 VR would not set.

Because of all the helpful posts here the first thing I checked was the brake switches.

Of course I found my front brake switch was broken where the round part insets into the lever assembly.

 

Anyone have one for sale or know of a source of supply?

 

I'll try to epoxy it but I'm not holding my breath on that!!

Thanks

Will

There is a small flat lip on the switch so I drilled two tiny holes in the switch lip and into the brake lever switch and tapped them to 2-56.

I also JB welded the assembly and am waiting for it to cure.

I have my fingers crossed!!

Ok, between the two small screws and the JB Weld, small amount neatly applied, I'm back in business.

I'll continue to look for a switch as I'm not sure how the JB will hold up on the plastic of the switch.

Pinwall would probably be your best bet for a replacement.RR

Keep an eye out for this brake switch for the 1986-1987, 41V-83980-01-00. It is a four wire switch, too. It differs from your 1988-1993 brake switch by the addition of a noise filter on the wiring harness of the 1988-1993.

Gives you another option when you are seeking a replacement.

Thanks, I'll start the searching.
