Re: Brake switch...??'s
Steve,
Gotta love U-Tube, I watched one this morning on the switch,looks simple enough...probably go that route....someone posted awhile back their install with pics and a parts list,it showed his mounted off the rear port into a three way fitting....that was my plan....
Thanks
Dan
