Broken part , replacement options?

Hello kzriders. So, The rear brake switch broke for the 78 kz1000 b2. Part # s show the special item is no longer available as new @ z1 enterprises and partzilla. I saw some old used options on ebay. Any other suggestions or comments for a good new replacement option? I'll hope to keep things as original -as possible w/o overpaying to "get there".
Here is broken part. Snapped right in half !
Part # 27010 017 and
27010 1481

Z1Enterprises.com lists an aftermarket version. search the OEM part number.

I wonder if pvc glue or E6000 would make a strong enough bond?

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNot new, but for $15 including free shipping maybe a good buy? Ed

I know you want to stay as close to stock as possible, but I my opinion if a non OEM parts is used that improves the bike. It’s ok. Here’s an option. This is a generic photo you’d have to find one that would fit your rear MC.

It's a common failure. I've had a couple go like that. I get replacements from Webike in Japan.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

As noted above, why not just get the part from Z1Enterprises? seems pretty simple to me.

Z1Ent >> Switch - Brake Light - KZ900 - KZ1000 - KZ650 - KZ550 >> 27010-017 & 27010-1481

Heck, that one looks better than stock and half the price of a used one.

From a quick check it's the same PMC part sold at Japan Web!ke. I don't know if it's made in Japan or Taiwan or what.

I have the PMC one from Webike. Great quality, no issues.
Just be careful on webike... it's super easy to add up a big bill with all the awesome stuff they have ;)
