Front brake lever microswitch + brake bleeding

[xrocket21]

I need a part, in the front brake lever for my ATK, there is a little microswitch that activates the brake light. It is tiny, and threads into the lever and is a Normally closed switch. When the lever is in the normal state, it opens the circuit and keeps the brake light off. When you pull theb rake lever, the circuit closes and turns on the brake light.

I Could go the option of a pressure switch, but if possible, Id like to reuse the switch style.

Does this ring a bell to anyone? Ideas for where to look?

It's a 1997 ATK 605 DS, has brembo brakes, front and rear.

Second question, both front and rear brakes were totally drained of fluid, how to I go about bleeding them? Despite filling the reservoirs, theres no pressure when I pump. How do I prime the cylinders? Vaccum bleeder? Anywhere to buy one locally?

Thanks.

Almost got it running!

yeah, vacuum bleeder makes it easy to initially fill the lines... then do final bleeding by hand.

You can do it by gravity/pumping... just takes a lot longer.

Duncan, I work in Cambridge, but live near GMD, where the bike is.

I have a Mity-vac bleeder in stock.
GMD or BoMo may have one you can borrow, but they're great to have around too.
