    Replace front brake assembly with new?

    During disassembly I apparently lost the mounting hardware for the front brake assembly. I see complete sets on ebay (universal 7/8) but am hesitant to buy one without feedback. What do you guys use? Only exact OEM replacements? My local Suzuki dealer can't even order them and I'd rather have something a bit more modern anyway.

    Thanks.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      What Chuck said X2.

      Also, what part(s) are you talking about? I'm guessing the master cylinder, but please clarify whether you're talking about the master cylinder or the caliper(s).

      The universal master cylinders can work, but you have to match the piston diameter. And not all of the fleaBay units are passable quality.

      If it's just the mounting hardware, that's easy enough to solve -- someone here will likely be able to sell you what you need.

      But you have to be clearer about exactly what you're working on, what country you're in, and what you need.
