750SF1 front brake switch - where is it?

[gibbo-123]

I've got all the electrics off the bike now for cleaning etc. I'm making a new harness up as the original is a bit of a mess, surprisingly everything worked though! The two wires going to the front brake switch are just taped back to the harness and I can't find where the switch should be. There's a small hole in the brake lever housing probably about 8mm diameter, does it screw in there? Is it a Laverda only part or generic to other bikes?

Photo would be good.......

There should be a right angled braket with a hole near the lever pivot. A small swich should be located there.

This is what I see from below the lever.

There is a small hole in the lever mount that runs parallel to the cable entry (if that makes sense).

Even-Dendially it sets in your Brake Lever with a long Probe. The Biggest problem is breaking the wires that attach to the Switch; other than that,  Maintain it an use Red Rust Check to Lube it.

When it comes to the point that you gotta rotate the "LUCAS - SX" probe, to make it work, think about replacing it with a NEW SWITCH.

Wolfgang has them ;o)
