    Dont know the technical but, I need it...

    Im calling it the "stop switch" for my front brake handle. This is the black plug that snaps directly in front of the brake handle so when you pull the brake back the little plunger springs out to call for the brake light to pop on. Mine was stuck. I tried to pull it apart and clean it but, its just toasted.

    What is the technical name for this piece? does anyone have an extra one?

    When in doubt, knock 'em out!

    I will not argue with idiots. They will only try to drag me down to their level and beat me with experience.

            the ones from mikesxs (at least the one they sent me) have poor quality control, I had to use a razor blade and trim a little bit off the end of the "tabs" that lock the switch to the control housing to make it work.
