Evolution Rear Brake Light Switch Location

Mike Roen takes a moment to give us a rear brake switch tech tip. When the exhaust system is removed from your Harley-Davidson, it is the best time to visually and physically inspect your Harley-Davidson rear brake light switch. The exhaust system typically obstructs access to the rear brake switch.

With the exhaust system completely out of the way, it is much easier to inspect, test, or replace the switch. It is a good idea to replace the Harley-Davidson rear brake light switch as preventative maintenance when it is this accessible.

When replacing the switch, it is vitally important that one wrench is used to hold the brake switch fitting in the stock steel brake line. Not doing this may result in damage to the steel brake line assembly.

Brake light inspection should always be an important part of your pre-ride inspection. Braking and correct brake light function are extremely important for rider safety.
