ScottSturgis Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 OK, on to the brake lever.... I used a set of aftermarket master cylinders on my '85 VF500F and they actually work great. The issue I'm having is with the brake lever. There's a lot of slop or play between the lever/plunger and lever/switch. Because of that, the plunger doesn't push the lever out enough to close the switch, causing the brake light to stay on. I've tried adjusting the switch position, and even added a bit of adhesive backed foam between the lever and switch. I have great feel and great brakes, it's just the interaction between the lever and switch that's causing problems. If I could get a brake lever that has the adjustable screw so I could take up some of the distance between the lever and plunger, I feel that would fix the problem. I've been quoted $150 to fully restore the stock master (bead blast, powder coat, new sight glass, rebuild kit, etc.). But if I can find a nice set of adjustable levers, I wouldn't have a problem.
