Lightbulb Looking for Brake light Kit

My 86 TRX350 doesn't have brake lights, does anyone know of a kit to add brake lights?

I would go to a Honda dealership, and look at the existing models and see if the OEM parts from one of them could be adapted to your older machine.

It might be cheaper if You went to an auto parts store for parts. Find a switch that could be mounted by the foot brake pedal and activated when the pedal is pushed. Run a hot wire to the switch and one out to the tail light. You would have to convert to a double contact bulb to have a tail light and brake light both or You could mount another light to use as the brake light.

Alot of canadian dealers sell an aftermarket kit, I think Quebec mandates brake lights. Check with your dealer or parts suppplier for a kit, if not source OEM parts for a newer honda with factory brake lights for the handles with micro switches etc.

It amazes me how long it took Honda to put brake lights on their ATVs.

On my 86 TRX250 I put on "makeshift" brake lights, two small round lights on each side of my rear rack. Wired it to battery and then ran it to my hand break to a button. When I brake I mash the button with my thumb- generic, I know, but I get a bit paranoid.

On my 03 Honda 450 I am going to get a true brake light kit.
