I'm stuck

[mossy1200]

The lovely FJRider asked me to check the assembley or something....which resulted in me asking him to recite the notes in the G sharp phrgyian scale

Here is a pic.....

Its not even close to the correct lever.
Who fitted the lever and washers?

"Lovely FJRider" ... ??? are you trying to ruin a guy's reputation ... ???

looks like it may have a mid to late 90s gsx750 or bandit 600 master cylinder on it.

If the bike is a 550 Katana it looks like the right lever but it's a different master cylinder assembly.

Soo calling you cupcake was meant to be our little thing.....I did check to see if you were online incase I got caught

It had that bar thing which went across the switch

hmmm

I went to my usual cycletreads over the shore, have never had a problem with them giving me wrong parts before.....

This is the work in progress

I thought you said you were making me cupcakes ...

I doubt if Cycletreads gave you the wrong part ... just the other parts may be from a different bike. On the main body of the brake resevoir assembly may be a part number. Which should identify the bike(s) it was intended for.
It may pay to check out a price for a complete unit (assembly) for your model. "Old Stock" prices may be not as bad as you may think. (less pissing about for the right bits too)

Well, in Cycletreads defense they probably didn't know that you have a different master cylinder on it.

This is what the original master cylinder would have looked like.

Thanks Katman, I bought a new brake leaver based on what model you suggested, it looks like it could be the right one. Will fit it on the weekend and see how I go. Now all I have to do is make up a seat bracket and its ready for vinning.... although I still need some fairings as the lugs have been broken off.

That brake system in the photo you took is very different from mine! Perhaps I should leave the biker mechanic stuff to the male species

I was minding my own business while going up in the lift today, chuffed with my new brake handle that Im going to put on the bike saturday. When the doors opened to my floor, there was my building manager....he questioned what I was holding, and so I started to explain....Now him being gay said he could find many more uses for it......... argh....cant look at it the same again all shiny with that knob on the end.......

[Mom]

...all shiny with that knob on the end.......

Easy fix, drop the bike and snap the knob off the lever

It better not happen before vinning lol!

In saying that, if I dropped this bike it'd shatter my leg! When I first got it, I could hardly push it, turns out the brakes had seized, but even now it's still too heavy to push.... wonder what the dry weight is..
