Clevis Help for Rear Master Cylinder
GS750cafe:
Here's a mock up of the new (controversial) rearsets from Thailand. The back of the brake lever doesn't line up with the push rod of the master cylinder. Any suggestions? I did a search for clevis' on the link above abut didn't see any metric ones that looked like they might work.
Cheers
VonYinzer:
That master is too big.
Maybe its just the angle of the pic but the brake lever is too high as well. your toes will be pointed at the ground while riding with rearsets remember.
Could you take the rearsets apart and flip the lever over?
That looks like it would give you the needed angles.
Bozz:
Yeah, those angles are off.
If you can flip the lever, you might be able to fix the offset by unbolting the MC and spacing it outward.
You also might be able to take a clevis from a shifter linkage and adapt it to the MC pushrod rather than the shifter rod.
Another question: What's to keep those clamps from rotating around the frame tube?
I can foresee problems if you stand on the pegs, they rotate (possibly spitting you off when your foot falls to the moving pavement) and now the rear swingarm can come up and make an even bigger mess.
It seems to me that welding bosses onto the frame for the rearsets to bolt to is a better solution than those clamps.
GS750cafe:
Thanks for the input guys. I know the angle of the brake lever is too high; it's just resting against the MC. Ideally it would be another 10-15 degrees lower. I thought about flipping the lever, but was hoping for a solution with the proper clevis.
As for the clamps, I thought i'd give them a try - they were pretty cheap. I just got a MIG welder though, so if they don't seem adequate, I can weld some brackets on.
VonYinzer:
Ya know... Honestly, the arm really looks upside down to me. Maybe Im nuts, but that would be my route. Flipping the arm.
