I don't know what to tell you on the rearsets for a 1000, other than maybe you could get creative with an adapter plate or having a new mounting plate made and welded to your frame.

As for the rear brake light switch, if you can find out the size/thread of your banjo bolt on your rear master cylinder, you could get a pressure activated brake light switch, so it won't come on unless you're actually braking, and eliminating the need for the brake light switch bracket.

I know the FZR600 rear MC uses either a M10x1.00 or M10x1.25 single bleed, and I want to say it's the M10x1.25

Example of the pressue switch

The 1000 uses the same rear master cylinder as the 600 so you shoudl be good on FInch's suggestion. You'll probably need to get creative with the rear sets..

Are we sure on the size?

Also, at that price, I wouldn't get it off of eBay.

I got mine here:

I have a Galfer brake line kit at home, so I'll double check the banjo bolt size this weekend. However, due to circumstances beyond my control, I don't currently have internet access at home, and there's a chance that I might not have internet access all weekend. If so, I'll try to post it monday at work.
