Based on youtube videos, I am thinking that the combination of the tail light not lighting up when I engage the front brake and the fact that I can't get my bike to start with the electric start switch that it's possible that my brake switch may be dead?

Am I on the right track? If so does anyone know where I can get a new brake switch?

Thanks

I don't have a nice sleek Conti, but if the front brake switch AND starter button both started acting up or crapped out at the same time on my old "Iron Belly" Bullet, I'd first be looking at the connections from the switchery within the front brake lever mount for anything loose or maybe corroded. My hunch would be a multi-wire connector had just slipped its moorings--probably just vibrated loose.

So badass my Enfield's actually illegal  in India. Yet it squeaks by here in Virginia.
