For the brakes, I actually epoxied a small square of 1/4" plexiglass to the top of my brake frames on the handlebars, and then epoxied these switches with roller levers onto the plexiglass. It allows total access to the brakes if I need to service them, yet the switches allow the brake handle to operate smoothly while activating the brake lights.
Cool, thanks for the info. My implementation will be a little different, as I am planning lights for a trike, but I'll be sure to look for those signal lights!
