Not bashing any brand or shop but just wondering.
On my beloved 640 the front brake light activation switch gave up the ghost. KTM +- R780 for one. Start looking for nearest Nigerian to sell right kidney( been giving me problems lately)
Had to go to Big Boy for parts for my puggie and took a chance. Yes they have those switches at R46 each.
Got home fitted it and works 100%. Looks exactly the same outside.
I know brands must protect their product but more than R700 difference seems a bit steep. KTM switch complicated with more moving parts than the Big Boy but for me that is a big plus.
I just don't know how companies can justify their prices ..........
Even if I have to replace switch 10 times in my time it still does not come near to having for sell n kidney .( One on my puggie now 8 years old and still working)
