Which banjo oil pressure bolt?

Post by VTRPiG »

Hey guys the rearsets don't have a place to mount the brake light switch. Is there a banjo brake switch that would fit the firestorm that I could use? It would be a lot better and neater than trying to lash something together :lol:

That's the wrong thread pitch. Most Honda including the VTR are 1.25mm thread pitch. Brembo use 1.0mm.

Here this may be of help.

PS: Oil Pressure is a bit misleading. It's fluid ie Brake and Clutch fluid.

That will fit. M10x1.25MM :thumbup:

It's a lot more tidy than the old style mechanical switch and you don't have to adjust it. Easy enough to fit too.

I bought a cheapy Chinese one for mine and it leaked like a sieve. Went for Goodridge after that and works a treat.
