Title: whats the part number for this?
Post by: draconarmy on August 31, 2013, 15:35:59 PM
ok so while doing an inspection on my bike I noticed some vertical play on my clutch lever.  upon further inspection I foud it was due to a break underneath the lever on the master cylinder housing (circled in red below).  I would rather not replace the entire unit if I can get just the piece circled in yellow but I don't see a part number for just it?  also can I get by until that part comes in with just some JB weld?

The body of the cylinder is not available separately. Pretty sure all the VN1500 clutch cylinders are the same. There are a few on eBay...You should not rely on JB weld, but rather REAL welding to fix this part, but you will then need a $40 kit to rebuild it, since the heat will destroy the rubber parts...

like i said its more of a band-aid than a fix.... so can anyone recomend an aftermarket replacement that wont take away from the vintage look?

ok found one for $50 including shipping only obvious issue is the bent clutch lever.  I will just use my good lever and be happy it didn't cost me 200+
