Anyone know where I can get a rear brake switch by mail order :?: I ordered (and paid) for one from Ironmachine over a week ago, but never got a shipping price or anything else, and they aint answering e-mails. I need one in a hurry for my MOT equivalent in a couple of weeks time. :cry:

IMO the switch is a standard part, and should be available at every shop that's selling brake lines and banjo bolts.

It probably is, however, Qatar isn't a standard country. There are no shops selling brake lines and banjo bolts. Now, had I been looking for a Louis Vuitton handbag I'd be spoilt for choice :P

You will need to put a connector on to suit the XB...

Cheers Pash :yup:

Just one double check, I guess that M10x1.25 is the correct thread :?:

edit - Bugger - doesn't ship to Qatar :sad1: :sad1:

edit again - however, now that I know what I'm looking for, they're everywhere, I'll get one from Demon Tweeks, cos they've shipped to me before :P

I'd still like to confirm the thread and length though :ugeek:

M10 x 1.25, however I would be surprised if Black Bear would not ship to you (and it would have the right plug and everything)

Already received confirmation of shipment from Demon Tweeks. I have to say, for expats, Demon Tweeks are brilliant, almost as good as Maz used to be ;) Shame they don't do Buell stuff :P
