This could, depending on operating conditions, result in a crash with another vehicle or vehicles.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Front and brake lever will be modified, a cap will be placed on the rear brake stop bolt and the front and rear brake light switches will be replaced with a newer switch if the vehicle is not already so equipped.
