Vortex adj. rearset install on 05' 636
 
I am looking for some inside info from anyone who has installed a Vortex adjustable rearset on an 05' ZX636. I have one burning a hole in my toolbox but I have questions about the brake side and associated hydraulic pressure switch and whether or not it is possible to change to GP style shifting with the supplied shift lever. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

yeah but im still confused is the brake fuid going to be running through the switch? i know this is something simple but i dont ahve much experience with brake systems except for replacing the pads.

yes, the fluid pressure is what activates the switch.

you replace your stock banjo bolt with the one on the switch and wire it into your stock rear brake light plug, or just splice the wires and your in.

yes, you can run the gp shift set up with what you have in the vortex package.
