I ran into the same problem with my Harley; the brake switch broke in the handlebar mount, was a BIG dollar to purchase the entire assembly and harness, the only way it is available from a dealer. I scrounged around in my "junk" box, found an old switch assembly that had a good brake switch, and cut it out and soldered it into the harness on my bike. Kind of difficult to do due to small work area and big fingers, but I succeeded in spite of myself. If you can find a switch and are handy with a soldering iron, it should be a fairly simple fix. I did have a problem finding shrink tube small enough for the wires; had to go to an electronics shop for that.

Regards and such,

Look at the parts drawings and see if you find the pieces you want.
buykawasaki.com or any of the oem parts vendors will have the parts diagram. I'd do it for  you, but am travelling at the moment with limited internet access.

 I don't know if this is where this belongs but i figured more people would see it here. Feel free to move it if you wish.

My high/low beam switch is shot. I took it apart and now it is really shot.
Can just the high/low switch be purchased or do I have to buy the entire workings of the left side like my dealer said. $177 worth.
