Thanks guys.
I was thinking of going to a mechanical switch, and now I am convinced!
If nothing else, a failed mechanical will be a lot easier (and less
messy) to replace.
Cheers,

I second the motion. I replaced the brake light switch in the Tiger
three times. Each one lasted about a month or two and then failed. Tom
Hall suggested the "mechnical" switch setup. I pulled a few switches
from different cars from a Pick-Your-Part junkyard, figured which one
would work (the one I used is from a Toyota pickup), made the bracket up
and installed it about a year ago. Never a problem since. The other
thing I don't like about the stock switches, even when they're working,
is that the brake lights don't come on until you put a good bit of
pressure on the pedal. With the mechanical setup, just slightly touching
the brake pedal activates the brake lights.
