light switch mechanical front disc cb125

[rupaulpierce]

To illustrate how little I know, I went to swap the controls from my old bars to the new ones and discovered the built in throttle on the cb125.

I ordered a new throttle tube and figured I'd chop off the throttle bits on the original controls and just bump them up against the new throttle assembly. The internally routed wires are a pain to yank out, and it seemed like i'd have to cut the bars open to get them out. I said what the heck and just ordered an all-functions control from dime city with some new levers.

What I didn't think about was the light switches. The rear drum has a mechanical switch mounted at the drum, so I only need to figure out the front brake, correct? Not in the same town as the bike so I can't just go look. I read on another thread that using the same type of rear drum switch for the front mechanical disc may work, but there was no conclusive post. Has anyone done this?

I don't see how this would work with a mech disc.

You need a cable with Built in switch like off of a cb175. The length will be wrong so you may have to solder in a new end after you cut it down.

sounds like it would be easier just to get another set of levers wired for brake lights, or just get the control switch set from another bike.

Anyone want to chime in? Sorry to be asking such basic questions, but just want to make sure i've got everything covered.

Those royal enfield levers are wired for a front disc light, correct?

I already have the all function switch and throttle from dime city, so with those I think I should be all set.
