[QUOTE="Waffle, post: 916759, member: 56573"] I made my 04 200 street legal in NH for about $50. I bought a hydraulic brake light switch that replaces the banjo bolt on the front brake master cylinder. Ordered it from Dennis Kirk, but you can get them just about anywhere. What you want is the 10mm x 1.25mm thread pitch. Cost about $15. I got two 1157 LED lights (replicates a double filament bulb) off Eb@y for $12 shipped. Bought an 1157 housing at Autozone for $3. Ordered the UFO folding rear view mirror from Dennis Kirk $15. A trip to Radio shack got me all the wire and connectors I needed for $5. A cheepo bike horn from Walmart rounded out the whole deal. That was all I needed for NH. I can't take it on any limited access highways (would be crazy to do that anyway! and why would you want to in the first place.) because I don't have DOT legal tires. And luckily NH only requires you to have the brake light wired to one set of brakes because you cannot fit the banjo bolt pressure switch under the rear fluid resevoir without relocating it. Dennis Kirk and Fredette racing have plunger switches for the rear brake with a cable and spring assembly that runs down to your brake pedal but those set-ups look way to fragile and vulnerable for the Eastern woods. Wouldn't last one ride around here. I spliced into the tailight power feed and ran a line up to the pressure switch then back to the second circuit in the LED tailight. Simple and efficient. Took me a couple hours on a rainy, miserable early spring Saturday. I was going to go with the resistor setup and the single filament bulb but for a couple bucks more I have a set-up that works the way it's supposed to. And besides, the LED's are much brighter and draw way less power. [/QUOTE]
