Rear brake light switch M10 x 1.25?

Reggie,

Brembo stuff is normally M10x1.0.  Might be different for M/Cs or calipers you've robbed from japanese marques.  Both Honda and Yamaha have manufacturing facilities in Italy, they often then fit domestically-sourced bits and bobs.  Lots of Brembo bits on Yamahas these days!

Plenty of m10x1 brake switches on fleabay, commonly used on vw and other things. I stuck a couple on the RGS and they work fine.
 
Keep away from the VW types, they ususally have a conical thread and might mess up the thread in your m/c. I have used a Guzzi brake light switch in the front splitter of the 3C, was cheap and works a treat.

Last one I bought with M10 x 1 thread (for a mate's BMW I was working on) was listed on ebay as a Harley Davidson part. Was only about $10.

Strange, H-D normally uses 3/8" UNF.

Thanks all.  Got a genuine Brembo one so an easy swap and no funny threads.  One more thing to tick off the list.

Had to go through all my ebay purchases today as Mrs 3CL was doing the books (some of the stuff was for the business) and there were LOTS of 'em.  The office was getting chillier and chillier as we went on.... :o  Bloody old bikes.

I assume you mean tapered thread? They were available from my local shop as either tapered or parallel thread, the latter is what I used.

He still said they were for VWs, maybe different models.
