Brake lever thing/portion/what do you call it?

[cole]

What's the part # for the part from the front brake lever, that attaches to the master cylinder. I checked bikebandit and no such luck and trolled the forums for a bit yet no favour shown to me. I can upload a picture if needed, for clarification, and if one isn't readily available/cheap I'll buy from twins:). I ask because I ordered a lever from ebay and didn't check to see if it had that portion. Lever is intact, it just snapped where the master cylinder attaches. Also, what do you call it?

I'm not sure what you need.

A lever is a lever - the complete thing. Not sure what you mean that you bought a lever and part was missing. GS500 brake levers are super simple to find. Any year will for for brake levers (1989-2012).

Did something break on the master cylinder?

Maybe a picture of what you need.

Are you looking for the bracket with 2 bolts that attaches the master cylinder to the handlebars?

It looks like this: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=230483164132&index=8&nav=SEARCH&nid=60733935891 and its the part where the adjuster attaches. My previous one broke there, the one I ordered did not come with it. Any suggestions?

When you say adjuster, are you talking the wheel with numbers?  They don't come as a separate part, you have to buy a lever that has it included. 

What you are looking for is an adjustable brake lever.  What you likely got from EBay is a typical, no frills, brake lever.  If it fits, it will work, you just can't adjust the span of the lever to the handlebar. 

If we are not understanding then I think it is time for a picture.

Hope that helps.

Repeating the obvious which was already stated by others...

1. You want an adjustable brake lever.
2. You ordered a non-adjustable brake lever
3. soooo....... order an adjustable brake lever like you show in the picture

ANY brake lever for any year GS500 from 1989-2012 will work. Suzuki never changed how the brake lever fits a GS500.
Does that sum it up?

I ordered the one from the previous link and am missing the difference from http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=170721512703&index=11&nav=SEARCH&nid=90301934456

Do I need to buy a whole new lever and suffer the loss? Sorry for being unclear.

[adidasguy]

Both of those are adjustable brake levers.
Maybe show us a picture of what you have an point out what is wrong or where you feel something is missing.
I am now at a total loss until we see what you have.

PS: Both links point to an adjustable lever - just different designs.
Looking closer - this one does not appear to be the complete lever. Seems part is missing and should be returned. Better picture would confirm that it is missing part of the lever.

Yes - took a closer look at the photo on ebay. It is incomplete. It is a broken lever and is missing the end. Appears someone took off part of the lever. What they are selling will not work and is not a complete lever. They goofed up big time. They deserve negative feedback for selling an incomplete part.

You need a new lever.

You ordered the wrong one.

Order a new one. You ordered the wrong one.

Adidasguy all ready tried to tell you.

(In the future if adidasguy says something, listen, cause he's one of the resident experts on this forum about all things gs500, and AMF ( =P ) )

No need to condescending. I know who he is, I have trawled this board long before registering.
Addias if you look at the two links, I have the first and I am missing the extra piece from the
second. Certainly I can't attach the first lever as is, it's missing the part that forces the brake
fluid to the caliper. The second link allows for that and the one that came with the bike is broken...why the need for a replacement. Thank you addias for trying to understand what I am
trying to describe as it's difficult if I dont know what it is.

[adidasguy]

Re-read my edited post. I noticed that. You ordered what SHOULD be the right part however they are selling an incomplete part - either broken or not assembled before packaging it. It is missing the part that actually attaches it to the perch, presses the switch and the piston on the master cylinder. There is no way that part will work on any bike.

Someone screwed up when they assembled (probably a 5 year old Chinese factory worker new to the job). I looked carefully at the photo on ebay (which was larger than the link).

I sent a message to the seller advising them that is not a complete lever. I'll see if they respond.

You should tell them and request a refund or replacement.

[cole]

I contacted the seller and they were pretty adamant that the part was correct and it indeed was. Checking bikebandit, you're able to buy the units separately for E labeled models. Lever(adjustable) is bbandit#  1100614 and lever assembly bracket(or brake lever assembly?) is bbandit# 1100433 brake lever knocker bbandit part#1100652. To clarify from previous threads, all levers fit all years and some from other cycles providing that the lever assembly bracket(or bake lever assembly?) knocker is intact. Now that I(we?) know what it is and there's a considerable amount of clarity, anyone have one that they're willing to separate with(cost+s/h)? 

Does the knocker include all the necessary units(bolts, nuts and spring)?

[adidasguy]

I'm low on clutches. Brakes I think I have some stock ones. I know I have a couple ASV levers, but those are like $80 each. I'm pretty sure I have some stock ones. I'll check my inventory tonight.

Never have seen a brake lever sold as 2 parts. I suppose it could be, just never seen that.
