Discontinued Part Search.

[Quasimodo]

I'm in need of a replacement for my 1983 GS750E. It's #8 on this diagram:

http://www.bikebandit.com/partsbandit/showschematic~dept_id~720209.asp

It's been discontinued. Does anyone know where I can buy one? Other than salvage yards, that is. May be there's an equivalent part from another bike that fits just perfectly?

Thank you very much in advance.

Darn. How about this one:

Thanks.

I just sold a complete rear master cylinder and piston on Ebay. I see them all the time and most GS models with rear disk are interchangeable.

Both links worked for me...

Interesting part. I looked on my '78 organ donor. My fitting goes straight in to the piston assy. Not at an angle like your picture shows. So I guess I can't help you. Sorry.

I'm sorry Tom. I don't see the angle your referring to. It looks like all the rear systems I've seen except some have a low brake fluid switch.

Item #8 in his diagram looks to me like it attaches to the piston assembly with a flange face and a couple of screws. Mine (and I guess yours too) is threaded straight into the body of the piston assy. Like this


This is on a '78 GS1000. It's the same setup on my '80 GS1100.

I stand corrected, again:?

But I'm not giving up yet\\/

A little FYI, just because the fiche says "discontinued" that does NOT always mean the part is no longer available from Suzuki. "Discontinued" frequently means the original part number has been discontinued. Go to your local dealer, and have them do a dealer part inquirery. This will in fact detail if the part is truly discontinued, or a new p/n is available.

Thanks! I'll try these guys out.

I'll also check on eBay to see whether there are anything useable there, as well as the local dealership.

BTW, I'm rather intrigued by chef1366's comment about the rear master cylinder on most GS' are interchangeable. Because the one on Tom MLC's '78 bike looks a lot sturdier than the plastic piece that broke off on mine. So, if it's possible, I may consider replacing the whole bit with something similar. But, does anyone know for sure whether it'll fit on an '83?

Thanks again.

Some of the things that might be different are mount bolt holes, switch connection, and the brake fluid outlet. You have something going on at the top in your diagram. I think that's where the fluid comes out? That looks way different than mine.

Got any pics? I'd be happy to sell you the one off my organ donor. Send me a PM if you want to discuss.

[Quasimodo]

Unfortunately, the bike is in someone else's garage who's actually doing the work. I don't remember how the whole thing is mounted. But, I've sent him your picture to see whether something like that would fit. We'll go from there.

The thing just burst and broke off while he's bleeding the line. That's why I'd like something sturdier, if I can, because I'd hate to have that happen while I'm on the road. Granted that the bike's 23 years old and been sitting in someone's garage for the last 12.

Thanks.

Any Brake specialist should be able to supply you a piece like that, you will need to know thead size and pitch, and the hose diameter.

Try this site. They show one for $3.15. I have been getting my parts through them for my GS550ES at consistently lower prices.
