Take the new lever out and make sure the switch isn't pinched (this happens a lot) If that's not the issue compare the contact point on the stock lever and the aftermarket lever if there is a difference build up the new lever with JB weld and file it down to match the stocker.More than likely the switch is out of wack.
Aftermarket levers and brake switch functionality
So...After a minor run-in (literally) with the gate by my shop, I ordered a new set of levers from Tucker Rocky, they are 'Biker's Choice' brand and supposedly fit the '04-'09 XL. They seem to fit very well, but the brake lever seems to not contact the brake light switch until excessive pressure is put on the brake lever. Any by excessive, I mean, if I tried to use the brake that way while riding, i would end up skidding down the road on my face...
Is there any way to adjust the switch, and/or modify the lever to operate correctly? I tried to go the cheap ($26) route instead of the H-D ($90) route. I would really like to save the money if a mod is possible.
Can anyone help me out?
