SubscriberHi,
I went to Harley and got the we don’t use anything like that story… for the rear brake light switch on the right side by the frame.
I looked through the Fat book but did not see one in there.

EditorWhenever you go to the HD parts dept for help, realize that the majority of counter help know less about bikes than you. Most of them are more interested in showing off their ink or looking like a “biker”. That said, the Hydraulic brake switches are in the 2015 Drag Specialties Fatbook at the bottom of page 908. You can use the house brand, part# DS-272191 or the one from Standard, part# 2103-0128. I’m not a biker and I found those on my first try. I do have some ink though……..

SubscriberThanks, I am not a Biker either. i use to fancy myself a motorcyclist sometimes but since I bought this low mileage Raider, which I really like, I have become a 90% mechanic and 10% rider.

SubscriberI was all wrong on this one. The rear brake lights were stuck on. When I pressed the rear brake nothing changed. When I used the front brake the lights on the rear would blink twice. I finally got around to messing with it and found if I pulled the front brake lever just a little all the brake lights would go off and the rear brake switch worked correctly. I took the front brake lever apart and tested the switch and found everything worked perfect. I found the chrome plating on the inside of the brake lever where it contacts the switch had delaminated and was causing the switch to act goofy. I replaced the brake lever for a 10 spot and the lights, brake lights work as advertised. Thanks for all the info others had posted with a similar problem…that led me to right troubleshooting and a fix.
