Would anyone be able to post a picture of a GPZ750R1 front brake light switch please, mine was covered in brake fluid and just disintegrated when I tried to remove it. So far I've searched online but couldn't find anything definitive...

Thanks..

Assuming it's an 82 USA model, OEM should be available. either from the Kawasaki dealer or Partzilla or whatever site you prefer.
Using the part number from the link below, there's an Emgo brake light switch available on EB & probably elsewhere.

Thanks for the reply's fella's, Its an Australian model {1982} , apparently it has the same switch as the 1984 GPZ1100's but I looked at an 1100's switch yesterday and it didn't look like it would fit. Because my original switch crumbled ,I couldn't eve see how it was mounted, even though that should be obvious. the 1100 has a slightly different master cylinder. I ran out of time yesterday to pull the 1100 switch off and see if it fits. The bike is about 50kilometers away and I won't be working on it again till Monday. Would anyone have a pic of the GPZ 750 R1 master cylinder showing the switch fitted ? I've had trouble locating parts here in Australia so if I have to order from overseas I want to make sure I get the correct part ...

Thanks for your help...

Had to replace three front break light switches on my Hayabusa in five years,
I converted all my mechanic acutated brake light switches to hydraulic acutated brake light switches on all of my bikes.
Trust me, they will last for ever without any issues like the 45+ years old Z1 switches.
