Front brake light switch
25 May 2021 18:45
I have a 1980 KZ750E and want a new front brake master cylinder. I have found one at Z1 Enterprises that I would like to use but the brake light wiring connection is different (2 connectors) and my current set up is a plunger type. Does anyone know if I can use an updated master cylinder and just simply use the updated wiring since they both have 2 wires? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I don't see where that master cylinder has a brake light switch. If it does, just unplug the old brake light wires then connect new between the wire harness & new Br switch terminals. I installed a Honda m/c w modern brake light switch & used the wire lead assy from a KZ1000P police bike. The wire colors were the same & the terminals matched. I could have made the little harness, but the prefabbed unit was easier.
note: I didn't need the switch in the pic. just the wire harness.

Great, thanks. The m/c I’m interested in is designed for the switch used by the KZ1000-P switch so it sounds like it’s an easy swap.
