Can someone measure the rear stop switch spring and give me the length?

Im taking the wheels of my 78 750f in the am( maybe, the 1991 tires are coming off!). Are you talking about the rear  brake stop switch spring? more detail for me to do it. Like end to end or just coil?

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Bender,

Yes, it's the rear brake stop switch spring. End to end not including length of bends etc. The total length of my 75 - 76 750F spring is 6". I have a line on a NOS 77-78F or A spring which I might be able to use for my restore.

Thanks
