front brake microswitch

[jrt]

True, but both my switches went bad and the only reason I can think of is excessive current. Guzzi used pitifully high gauge wire on the system, so I imagine there is a fair resistance through it (I was measuring 11.74 V on the hot side. The bike wasn't running and the headlight was on...but still, not so good). I'm going to try to improve the ground in several places over the bike, and I'm willing to take the extra complexity of adding relays for what I perceive to be increased durability.

 

Dan is a great source and I've bought a couple relays off him and a few other parts, but I had to order a rear brake switch anyhow, so for ease of ordering, I got everything from Cheesehead and Co. They bring a nice variety of Wisconsin cheeses to the WI rally every year, so perhaps I'm subsidizing that.
