Front Brake Switch
#11
I do beg your pardon. Of course from 2014 on the system is CAN so a different switch from then on.
The HD part number if you need the switch is 71500118.
It might just be the manufacturer as to whether the button top is white or black, I have seen pictures of both.

What he said. I've had this happen on any number of bikes, and I always solve it by using epoxy to affix a piece of metal, rubber or just about anything to lengthen the lever a bit to reach the switch. It's never failed to work yet.

Update:
In case anyone was wondering. I pulled it apart and the switch had moved inside the housing, must have been when I swapped bars. Took it apart, repositioned everything and it's 100% now. Also, I picked up a MityVac to vacuum bleed the front brake and that got all the air out of the new MC. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Anyone have any thoughts on the bleeding issue?
I have a one man bleed line that has a one way valve in it. When I changed the brake line on my partner's trike with no fluid in the system there was no pressure to open the valve.
I went old school with just a bit of pipe and a jam jar with a little fluid in the bottom. It works perfectly but generally needs a helper.

for me, the Pittsburg cheapie has worked fine for several years....
