Hello everyone, I'm sure someone has encountered this problem before. My brake light is off, when I was riding on Sunset Blvd the other day someone reminded me after he nearly smashed into my fat Busa ass. Neither front nor rear brake triggers the light, and since the tail light and brake light...

Thanks Mikey D. I have all the tools so I'll probably give it a try myself. Worse after worse I truck my babe to a dealer. Anyone can give me a quick step-by-step guide by any chance?
