good morning folks, I am trying to get my nc29 back on the road and my front brake isn't triggering the brake lights, I am presuming it is a switch somewhere but can anyone point me in the right direction before I go pulling everything apart without not knowing what I am doing? it's been about a year since I have had the bike out from under the covers properly. The back brake is working fine.
Thanks in advance.

Re: nc29 front brake not triggering brake light
Yeah the switch is underneath the lever with 2 wires going into it from the kill switch, it has a little bit that when you press the lever it comes out and engages the rear brake light, sometimes the spring inside the unit can come loose so the it doesnt come out.
Easy enough to fix just take it apart and make sure it springs out. if you can't fix it then you can get them easy enough of ebay

You can see the bit which comes out on that ebay listing, the break lever keeps it held in when not using the brakes
