Oh dear. They arent that much from a dealer. I dont think I paid more than a tenner. Have you tested with meter for breaks.

Cant help you with the front switch, but the easiest way to deal with the rear
is to buy a hydraulic switch www.spareshack.com has them and they are easy
to fit

Second FB on that, make sure it is the brembo as they have a shorter thread and I believe a finer pitch. Just had to fit another to mine as the first one I bought (none Brembo) failed after 3 years.

Guess you already know but its only a half hour task, if your able to get rid of the air bubbles.

And to be corrected by my other half, it is her bike, I loved fitting those DP rearsets, didn't even get supplied with bolts and no way to set up the rear brake. But they do look good polished.....
