Drag Specialties Front Brake Light Switch – Harley 1982‑1995 – Replaces OEM 71590‑92 / 7159092L

OVERVIEW

This Drag Specialties front brake light switch serves as a direct replacement component built to restore reliable brake circuit signaling on classic Harley-Davidson machinery. Constructed as a precision electrical control, it swaps out failing factory units without aftermarket adapters. Designed specifically for Softail models from 1982 to 1995, the switch returns the original switching action and mounting geometry for a true factory-level update.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

Built to meet or exceed original equipment parameters, this toggle switch delivers consistent contact pressure through repeated handling and heavy ride cycles. Factory-style pre-routed color-coded leads streamline terminal identification and reduce wiring errors during removal or restoration projects. A durable black protective sleeve runs alongside the harness to guard against heat buildup, road debris, and high-frequency suspension movement. Riders experience immediate restoration of steady brake lighting without modifying existing switch housings or routing new wires.
