Title: Got rear-ended & can't find replacement brake lever
Post by: Anthony F on September 23, 2016, 06:12:50 PM
1990 Mille
I'm wondering if one of you gentlemen might know how I might find the same brake lever or similar enough.  Images below, part # is 28676548.  It needs to fit a threaded boss on the frame at the pivot point.  I found a V50 lever on ebay that looked close but I can't make it work since the V50 lever doesn't use a through-bolt, just a pin (adjustable linkage isn't right either).  Mille lever is the shiny one on the left (3rd photo).

I got knocked down hard enough to bend the heck out of it and the foot rest portion snapped off.  The part seems discontinued. 

It looks like pot metal & I don't know if it could be welded.  I thought about drilling it out and putting a bolt through but a bolt large enough to retain the rubber cover wouldn't leave much material at all after drilling.  Maybe I should just see if a friend could weld it.

Anyway thanks for any thoughts.

Anthony

On the Harper's site (harpermoto.com) this is what pops up when you plug in the part number you referenced (28676548):

Not cheap but it appears to exist.

Not in the shop today but give me a call Monday 816.697.3411. There are several lengths of levers that coincide with peg placement. Measure the length of that one from pivot to toe peg. I probably have some thing used as well.

Ok, thanks very much I'll give you a call. 

I'm lucky, just got a bruised hip, thanks.  It was a Yield intersection and only about 20 mph I'd guess.  The driver was looking up the road for oncoming traffic. 

Right valve cover, front master cylinder, brake hand lever, bar end mirror... got scraped up.  The thing that makes me sad is I didn't have any guards on the cylinders so the right one got some fins scraped.  Could have been much worse though. 

Thanks everyone for their input.
