Billy mine is a 04 also do not cut any wires I replaced both of my pc boards last year your new board will come with the brake light wire, I wrapped some tape around the master cylinder and handlebar to hold everything in place so it wouldn't fall and smack my tank:bang: but for me the R&R of the brake light wire was the worst part. just below where the pickup on the end of the wire that goes in the housing there is a set screw it's a .050 Allen you can barely see it, loosen it just a couple of rounds and the wire should slide out and when you put the new one back in push it in until it firmly seats then pull it back out about a 1/8 in put some dielectric grease (yes gas man).on the connector for the pc board.if you have your master cylinder temporarily secured and the rest just hanging you can turn on the key and check and see if your brake light comes on/off when you want it to, this is where i messed up because i pushed the wire/pickup in to far i could barely touch the lever or the wind would cause brake light to come on, there is a magnet on the lever and when you pull the lever to activate the brakes/light, but they cannot touch if they are to close brake lights will come on to easy if there to far apart you would have to pull it to hard. hope this helps..Dave.
