I was checking my Centauro this morning and found that the front brake light switch didn't work. It was in adjustment, but the switch was bad. Rather than pay between $20-$40 for a new Guzzi item, I checked Radio Shack for a similar switch. Either a 275-016 or 275-017 will work fine. You have to break off the metal lever or lever and roller before you can use it. Since it is a SPDT switch, use the two outside terminals. The connectors just snap on the Centauro, while a little soldering would be required for an SPIII or similar bike. The best part is they are readily available and only cost around 2 dollars.
