SOURCE: brake lights

Also check the battery terminals and make sure you have a good ground 

SOURCE: BRAKE LITES WON"T WORK

you have a corroded ground in the back light bar..remove the rear light bar from the fender and make sure it is clean, not rusty.

Hi,
Not an easy one here,,,, Take out the brake light bulb (eliminating problem bulb) if light still dulls it's a wiring problem ! , most likely at swing arm or chassis to mud guard or wheel arch .
If not, (no problem) run a seperate earth wire from battery to headlight earth (make sure of polarity) This will indicatean EARTHING problem . Do the Same for the positive side which will indicate a problem at the front fork to headlamp assy area (not likely)

SOURCE: Honda vt750 brake light not working have replaced

the wires typicaly are ran under your rear fender, this leads to the possibilty of tire hitting wire and breaking it. friend had a bigdog and everytime his wife rode '*****' (no she aint a hog) around 5 miles brake light would quit.
