    Slight problem encountered...... Nowhere to attach the brake light switch?? Possibly because rearsets, in particular these ones are for racing? Is there anything I can do that I don't know about? :rolleyes:

    I’ve seen similar on other rear sets. Don’t they do a banjo (bolt) switch o_O ...might be a universal item you can get.

    Fit the rear set then see where you can fit the switch Paul or fetch it round to mine and I'll sort it o_O

    Was a while ago bit I think I had to cut the cable and solder the wires together? Or you could use those crimp type connectors.

    Yeah, so instead of using the normal banjo bolt this goes in its place and is basically a pressure switch :)
