Banjo bolt brake wiring

[Steven Simpson]

Hey guys,

Bikes running great! My wiring is very minimal and I do not have signals or light switches. My tail light and head light are just running as soon as I switch the key, which is how I wanted it.

I am trying to wire in my banjo bolt for the rear brake and I got it connected, but it just stays ON. This is a Light from Lowbrow customs. It has a Running wire, Brake wire and a ground.

Is there a different way I need to wire it up to be on/off by the pull of the banjo bolt ? adding in wiring etc . Again I have no switches on the bike its all powered from the key switch.

Thanks!

on/off by the pull of the banjo bolt ?

???
You got one of those banjo bolt brake light switches?

+12 to one side, other goes to the brake light wire, done. Check that the switch is working brake on off.

Yes, you have to wire the brake light through the banjo bolt switch. You don't hook the brake light up to power directly.
