Is it worth hacking the M18 inflator for $119.48 or are there better deals to be had?

I already have the M12 inflator but I'd like to add the M18 version to the fleet.

I'm working on a 2003 XL883R

Can anyone tell me the proper way to tie this Brembo RCS master into the brake light?

1st Question - Can I use the switch that came with the Brembo RCS master or do I need the microswitch that Kruesi / KurveyGirl sells? I'm not sure if this replacement switch is only meant for the newer CANbus bikes or is it for ALL Harley's?

2nd Question - Once I have the correct switch, what's the proper method to tie it in? Do you cut & strip the OEM brake wires (R/Y & O/W) inside the switch pack housing and solder the Brembo microswitch wires directly to these wires right inside of the switch pack housing?

Or do you take the OEM brake light wires out of the factory 6-pin Deutsch connector inside the headlight bucket (like depinning) and then insert the Brembo microswitch wires (after you crimp pin connectors to the wires) back into that factory Deutsch connector?

How many miles did you put on your stock tires before replacing them?

I have about 1,500 miles on the factory IRC's now on my 2024 and thinking about upgrading them...

Next question - which tires do you guys recommend for all around street riding with a little bit of stunting mixed in?

Service manual states:

"Position slider tubes so that top of each tube cap (12) extends 0.42-0.50 in. (10.7-12.7 mm) above top surface of front fork upper bracket.

How important is this measurement? I'm looking to gain some additional height in the front and thinking about running my fork tubes (tubes not caps) flush with the top tree. I'm installing 14" rear shocks and a Race Tech kit in the front end right now.
