82 gs650 rear master cylinder substitutes?
big mistake and ill never do this again but when i first got the bike I threw away the rear master cylinder, almost a year and a half later I still haven't made a solution. I've thought of making a custom mounting frame so a aftermarket master cylinder could sit a few inches back not interfering with the airbox, but I really don't know where to start with that. ill provide a picture of the mount design and if there's any lead to a solution let me know! part of part #1

there are Chinese ones that appear adaptable, but mounting points would need altering for the 650...1981 gs650L

I used one from an EX300. Looks like it's a bit of a different mounting on your 650 though... I'm sure it could somehow still be made to work1980 GS1000G - Sold

Ebay usually serves me well (if you know to go through the stuff you buy) but I couldn't find even a listing for the master cylinder while I was on the search, and with a part like a rear master cylinder yeah it might not be the wisest to get a used one off ebay with it being such a unique one, not many examples of them left.
I messaged the guy who said he has one laying around!Ian

This was on a parts bike out back. Looks to be in good shape. It won't be there by Christmas, but should be there before the New Year.
There's a banjo bolt, 8mm reservior mounting bolt, pin and washer to connect the linkage, but you'll need a cotter pin.
I only had one mounting bolt for the MC. The other one left Albuquerque on Mr Hedges' 850 a while back.
Merry Christmas
