CB550 rear brake spring bracket

<< < (3/4) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I bought a good used  spring from two wheel spares, had to buy the lever as well.

Oddjob:
The rear brake lever on a 550f is flat steel, on a 550k it’s round. If yours is round the kickstart lever will hit it.

Towsejames:



Here is what’s is happening. I think the footpeg and brake switch are mounted incorrectly and maybe I have the wrong brake lever and or kick start lever?

Hi, mine is mounted on the bolt above where yours is, it's the rear upper engine mounting bolt.
The bottom of the spring hooks onto the inside of the pivot part item 12, in the notch
But mine is a homemade bracket!

Johny Boy:
I've just had a look at my kick start lever, it does seem to have much bigger offset than yours, but it has obviously also hit the brake lever a few times in the past. Although mine came without the brake lever
