Got the MZ out for the first time in a month or two.
Managed to push it off the side stand, strapping a bag to the back.
Snapped off the front lever. Anyone know what else uses the same master cylinder/lever? Or where to get a brake lever from?
Also when on the side stand its barely lent over, I have to be very carefull when I park it up. What do yours do? lean over quite a bit or just barely?
Might be the wrong side stand, think I remember reading that the enduro side stands were longer, there might be one on mine. Mines 34cm long tip to tip.

grahams for the lever
i live in the usa i sorted through a collection of over 3,000 levers at an old dealership
about 5 years ago and did not find a match
if any one knows what does fit doooo post it
but it will be something not sold in the usa
my traveller ,saxon tour 500cc and the rt125 4stroke all use it
replacement levers has been a major expense here because of the shipping cost
and the levers are not cheap

I've had a punt on this
Front Brake Lever Black KTM60,KTM65SX (460-13-002-000)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130656815951? ... 1423.l2649 Its cheap and I fancied my chances, I'll let you know how it turns out. Otherwise the one from grahams looks to be around £24
In the meantime I'll use the short two finger brake I made this morning
Edit this also looks promising

The ones TRIUMPH-MZ-MOTORCYCLE-HEAVEN-PARTS has on ebay for MZ look like a good fit.
I'll see what the one I ordered is like and report back.
Pretty sure this one is on the money
http://www.splatshop.co.uk/domino-f-brake-blade-grimeca.htmlDomino Front Brake Lever Blade for use in Grimeca master cylinders.
Pivot Hole Inner Dia: 8.1mm
Washer Recess: 15mm
Centre Pivot to Centre Plunger: ≈ 19mm
If it does fit, would save a few quid over the "originals"
Surprised that alternative supplier brake levers isnt already a "known" thing.
This also looks on the money

LEVERS
i have been looking since 2003 and have never found an other bike they fit except MZ
and the rear sprockets on the 125 4 strokes are also rare
dave
if you do find them on another brand ...that bike was probably not sold in the usa

So the ebay one for the KTM was a bust, I'll have one last punt on that domino lever and then admit defeat.

Still 25 odd quid though.
If this domino one fits then thats a lot cheaper.

Bugger, that last one was not a fit either.
So time to admit defeat.
What master cylinder options are there? Ideally something from a more commons bike?
