    Hey Guys,
    When I squeeze the front brake lever, my brake lights dont light up. However, If I step on the back brake pedel they light up fine. Brand new bulbs, stock tail light housing. Is there a sensor in the front brake lever assy that lights up the brake lights when squeezed? Help! Thx!

    At least check the connections at the microswitch. After I installed my HeliBars, that was the first thing I realized I forgot to reconnect when I did a bar switch operations check.
