Hey everyone. I'm getting an '80 XS400 Special II back road worthy after it apparently went down at some point.
Everything is going well, however I'm having a little trouble locating some front brake hardware for this bike, which has both front and rear drum brakes. Most of the parts on Mikes and others I think are for front disc brakes, which may have a larger brake switch and differently designed brake levers. I ordered the standard brake and switch from Mikes, but neither lever nor switch fit in the stock perch.
Here is the switch I think I need, (thank you to bcbobbers!)
I've found this on Ebay, but I was hoping to find something in a little better condition.
Has anyone seen this particular brake setup for sale?
And I want to thank you guys too! You all have been invaluable in helping me resurrect a cool old bike!
