The neighbors hate you already??? I told you that pipe was loud. Glad you're having fun with the bike man. You should probably look into a banjo bolt style pressure switch (that was on the list for the bike when I had it) and then you won't have to worry about adjusting the switch to the pedal. Might wanna consider that for the front too.

SWEEKSTER,
+5 on the banjo style pressure switches for the rear, they can be troublesome on the front with clearance, unless you have a splitter arrangement still.
