1976 750 Supersport rear brake caliper assembly question
« on: April 19, 2015, 09:12:17 AM »
I am putting the rear caliper back together and thought I took good pictures but I can't figure out where this clip goes and don't see it on the diagram.  Any help would be appreciated. 

The third pictures is where I think it might go

Can't help ya then. Did you take it off and forget where it goes? Looks more like a retaining clip for a brake line on a car. Don't see that part in the fiche.

I just rebuilt the caliper on my '75 F, looks like that clip is in the right spot according to the pic you posted.

Actually I take that back, I thought that was the clip that attaches to the bars that run through the pad. I dont know what that is, I dont have one on mine. That actually looks like the clip that attaches the lock to the gas tank panel that opens up to access the cap.

Dude.   I'm such a freaking idiot.  You are 100% correct.  Somehow it got in the wrong bag and this is my first ever bike so until you mentioned it I had no idea.  That's excactly what it is.   Thank you so much.   I really appreciate it
