I love the idea of the flashlight switch to be used to switch eco/sport and breaklight at once.
Can someone tell me how to modify this the best way?

I originally used the flashlight sw but found that it was uncomfortable to use much. So then I mounted the handlebar sw that I showed in my thread.

By using that two pole switch I can select two different levels of regen. Pushing the lever forward with my index finger gives me the lower regen setting and pulling it back puts on the brake light and I get the high regen. You can't tie the eco/sport circuit to the brakelight circuit. You have to use two isolated switch poles so using the flashlight sw you can only select the lower regen and you will have to gently pull on the brake lever to switch to the higher regen level. That works, but I prefer to not use the brake lever at all.

Either way you go it is better than stock.

In my thread "Handle Bar Switch Works Great" I show a schematic of the switch wiring.
