I installed a set of rear sets from freespirits, and you need to relocate the rear brake switch to the rear caliper. My question is, does any one know part numbers for the two pin connectors (male and female) for the rear brake? Instead of cutting the connector off and extending the wire, i want to make a middle wire of sorts with the factory connectors. Can anyone help?

As I recall, that is one very small connector. If you are not able to find one you might want to extend the wires from the switch instead of cutting up the bike wiring harness. That way you could alway e-bay the brake switch to put things back to stock.

If I were going to cut up wires, I would use the switch connector to cut up. I'm not worried about not doing it right, I just think it would be easier to make a middle cable with stock connectors. I've been doing electronics for the last 9 years. If I were to cut it up, I know I can solder the wires and do the heat shrink around the wires.
