I used Lusito levers on both my Puch No. 5 Pinto build and Magnum build. I like them cause they are stylish and cheap. The only drawback is they don't come with a hole for brake light switches. Below his how I overcame this problem and keeping it super clean at the same time:
1) Bought a Miniature Limit Switch from Radio Shack for 4 bucks:

2) Made an aluminum mounting plate. Used the original screw and nut that hold the lever on to mount the plate. Simply position the switch to click on when the lever is depressed. I used double sided tape to hold it on but I might glue it with epoxy eventually when the tape wears out.

3) Solder the wires on and be sure to insulate them. I used paint on the ends as an insulation. That's all to it!!

Here is an even cleaner version I did for my Pinto build:

Happy Tuning!!
