Re: Front Brake Light Switch
All 4 switched died at the same time??? What are the odds???
The rear is a standard 1/8 NPT brake light switch. You can pay Harley their price or get one at NAPA for a few bucks, The fronts are, probably, an HD item or a Joker Controls item, but I'll bet they source them from HD

Re: Front Brake Light Switch
I've never had a standard GM brake light pressure switch last for more than a few thousand miles on my 2001 BH ZZ4 Trike (rear drum brakes). Though I cannot validate the info, I have come across some who say that the problem lies in the brake line pressure required to activate the switch reliably (90 PSI for the standard GM unit), and some who say the problem is the effect of the silicone-base properties of the DOT5 upon the GM (NAPA SL134/Chevrolet D2641-4).
Whatever the case, I've chosen to go with a CPP Classics JK613B low pressure 45 PSI rear Brake Light Pressure Switch (installed on 11 Nov 2016 to replace the third dead 90 PSI NAPA unit since December 2014). My trike breaks down all the time for one screwy reason or another, so I've not put a whole lot of miles on it since the replacement (maybe a thousand or so; I'll have to check). But for what little I have ridden (daily commute when the thing is road worthy) the low pressure CPP is holding up well, and is a direct replacement.

Re: Front Brake Light Switch
Oops!
The OP is addressing front brakes, not rear.
Goodridge PBL775-44CH Harley Brake Light Banjo Bolt w/Pressure Switch 7/16-24 was the replacement line pressure brake light switch I used on mine.
I don't know if it will fit your hand brake reservoir (H-D/Indian) but it fit mine perfectly.
.....
Old thread, but hopefully this info will help someone. I'll pay closer attention to the dates/subjects. Too eager to help, I suppose.
