    Lamp Checker Purpose

    Besides indicating when the brakes are applied, what else does the lamp checker do on my old 74 TX500 - it's not a warrantable function so at US $60 for another one I am unsure if I need it. Anyone got any clue as to what else it does?

    From my shattered memory, I seem to recall that the lamp lights up if your brake light doesn't - just a warning that that your brake light bulb is kaput.
    Only worth replacing if you are going for a concours restoration, otherwise save your money for replacing the balancer shaft chain.
