I have a 2002 Road King Police. While on a road trip this weekend my riding friends told me that my brake light was coming on without my braking. Sometimes the brake light flickers, sometimes it stays on for a period of time. I am having little success in replicating the problem when the bike is parked. How should I go about identifying the problem?
Brake Light Comes On Without Braking

More than likely it's the brake light switch in the brake lever on the bars. It could be worn or even broken. Take a look behind the lever towards the switch housings and you will see the switch plunger. I've seen then come loose from the housing and back out a bit causing what you have.
