I've got my solution installed, can't really get any pics of it because mother nature just blasted us with about 4" of snow here in central Mass. Used a street bike reverse switch like in post #24 and just have it temporarily attached to the shifter bracket and the R/1 shifter linkage. She just needs to work at least once while it's in the inspection bay, beyond that it doesn't matter.
I've never owned a street bike that had reverse,are sure you aren't talking about the kick stand switch? Do some street bikes really have reverse now?

Sorry, brake light switch. Auto-generated predictive text on the phone thinks that I'm talking about a reverse switch still. Updated original post about the switch, silly phones lol.

Nothing stops me from putting in a bypass switch that will kick the backup lights on even as the backup light shifter switch yet works. HOWEVER, I would put a nice, bright LED indicator light to show I've turned them on, in hopes of avoiding a ticket for driving down the road with them on.

Get a lighted toggle switch,or put an LED where ever you want,ground one side hook the other side to the switched power for the backup lights. If you have to power to the backup lights,tge LED while have power also. We could also install a backup alarm,to remind you to look at the LED.
