    Alternate brake lever and master cylinder for a 1980 GS1000L

    Does anyone have a suggestion for this question? I cannot locate a rebuild kit for this lever and would like to know if there are any bolt-ons from any other bikes? If there is a complete braking system that will bolt on, that would be good to know. I am very flexible on making mods to the bike.

    Thanks

    My understanding is any control that fits on your 7/8" bars will work proviede:

    Single disc up front- donor controls must come from a bike with a single disc as well.

    Dual disc- donor controls must come from a bike with dual discs.

      Why not order a rebuild kit, Part# 59600-45811? Any OE parts sourse can get it for you.
