Fitting some gilles rearsets and they they don't have any way of fitting the brake light switch
Anyone else got them fitted, how did you get around this.

And rearsets are now up with stubby levers, they are going on every bike I ever buy.

Either buy a pressure switch Banjo or make your own brake light switch holder with some metal strips.

fit a stainless banjo bolt pressure switch rather than a zinc plated one.

Ok cheers, the banjo bolts with brake switches are only a tenner on ebay, ordered a goodridge one.

I never use the back brake either but I was thinking for mot's easier to put the effort in now rather than changing rearsets all the time.
