Pressure Switch - Braided lines

Enrgkid · February 27th, 2015, 08:48 PM

Hey Guys,

I have HEL braided lines on my Ninja, as well as Rearsets, now while they hold the stock switch, it falls out of the holder all the time and isnt very sensitive, so I'm looking at changing the switch just so I have peace of mind, it's only say $20 so it's not a huge amount of money.

Wanted to know though is their any issues you guys can forsee with the change? problems with the lines at all? May be a stupid question just want to cover all basis, messing with brakes makes me nervous.

so your rear brake pressure switch.... falls out of holder?? The entire thing or just the end that gets attached to the brake lever that activates the switch?

Just finagle it on there some how, it doesn't need to be pretty

It's quite hard to demonstrate through pictures, Really I just want to know if there would be any issues with the Pressure banjo going through Braided lines. As for fandangling it on there, it currently is, just feels a little yuck, you can feel the click when you put pressure on, and it's never a nice feeling.

I did that with my vortex rearsets as the don't have a place to mount the stock switch.
The vortex switch i have works great. I haven't had any problems with it so far.

If thats what you are talking about, hope that helps.
