Hi Mr. Mike Ski,
Didn't I give you a "mega-welcome"? There's quite a list of our favorite vendors in there. Sorry if I missed you.
Thank you for your indulgence,

What everyone is trying to say, in a roundabout way, is that the cheapest source for brake a clutch levers, and also the highest-quality products, is Suzuki. OEM levers are best and quite reasonably priced.
As far as the master cylinder, rebuilding your original with an OEM rebuild kit and reservoir would be your best bet. If they're available, the aftermarket kits are incomplete (usually no piston), lower-quality, and usually more expensive as well.

Have you checked out Cycle Parts Nation? :-k
I did not hear about them in time to compare prices when I was putting "Freebie" back together, but I probably could have saved quite a bit. Most of my parts came from PartShark.
Comparing a few prices: PartShark (PS) and Cycle Parts Nation (CPN) (for my '81 850G)
......................PS .....CPN
Clutch cable ..17.36 ...16.01
Clutch lever ....7.80 .....7.16
Brake lever ....10.33 ....9.50
Fork seals .....10.85 ....10.01
Tach cable ....15.53 ....14.32
Airbox boots ....9.69 .....8.93
I don't remember if there was much difference in shipping costs when I compared for the next order, but it's certainly worth a try.
