anyone have pics of an F rear brake m/c setup?
« on: October 27, 2008, 04:10:38 PM »
i'm putting my rebuild back together, and like an idiot, i didn't take a pic of the way the spring fits on the pedal/lever behind the mounting plate, and my clymer does show squat. anyone have a pic they can share to point me in the right direction?

I don't have much to show.... I just scanned through my 78 750F teardown photos and the only one I came up with is posted below.

I think the other end of the spring connects to a hole right by the end of the brake lever arm.  As you probably know this spring only actuates the brake light...

Hope this helps some-

Best of luck.

thanks for all of the replies - i hate to be a pain, but does anyone have a shot of the spring behind the mount? not the switch spring, but the thick pedal return spring. i need to figure out where the ends of that one go.

thanks again...

in the last photo that ofreen posted, you can see it as it's hooked over the arm that attaches to the master cyl. plunger, and the other end hooks around the frame tube as shown in the top photo.
