Help identify brake lever.... was created by MCH650SR
I need to replace the brake on my 79 650SR. The master cylinder is from another bike, unknown to me. Does anyone recognize the brake lever to give a part number or year and model of the bike it came from?
thx

I did some more digging and it may have come from a Kawasaki EN450LTD (mid '80s) or possibly from a Kawasaki VN750A. Can someone possibly verify this?

The brake lever from the EN450LTD was the right fit; but unfortunately it has a slight downward bend. The bend makes it awkward reaching for the lever. Ended up cutting a small piece from the end (ball part) of the new lever and attached to the end of the old lever. Used a pin to join it together and heat shrink tubing to secure it.
It works fine now and feels comfortable.
