Grimeca front brake lever

[gripper]

I know this is a long shot but I'm after a front brake lever from a Grimeca hydraulic front master cylinder. It's for my Commando that nose dived into the ground after I got it fired up at the weekend after a long rebuild. I was so excited to hear it running again I forgot to put the stand down and just let it go. "Oh dear" I said.

If you only said"Oh dear" you showed comendable restraint J.B.

I thought I said that, but my neighbours might say somthing different

Gripper,Not sure if we talk the same Grimeca master cylinder, but if it is the one we use in our brake improvement kit (see http://www.andover-norton.co.uk/Accessories.htm), then we have the lever as a spare- Andover Norton part# 13-1610.Joe

My master cylinder has a round reservoir and was bought from RGM a good 5 or six years ago. They advise me that grimeca have gone into receivership and the blades are no longer available. I will try and attach a photo of my blade and you can maybe tell me if it is similar. It difficult to tell from the photo on your website. Many thanks Joe

Here is a picture of the broken lever, as an attachment I think.

Sorry, not the same as ours. The receivership story sounds a bit like a lame excuse. They were in receivership for a while last year but we have since received new master cylinders, paid for, incidently, BEFORE they went into receivership which means they honoured the contract under their receiver. As far as I know they are now trading normally again.

That looks very similar indeed to this Guzzi lever on ebay.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/moto-guzzi-br ... .kettle738

Thanks Mick, good spot.

Hope it's the right one, it does look uncannily similar.If for any reason you don't get it, my W2000 had Grimeca brakes and the best parts source for them was North Leicester Motorcycles.....they do Moto Morinis back to the 1970s.Best..........Mick......kettle738

I can't believe I was out-bid by 50p at £5.50 That'll teach me to be complacent and not get back to the computer at the end of the auction. Looks like my Commando will be sporting a CBR600 master cylinder with span adjustable lever.
