    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        I did find a pad retainer this morning. Its the round metal one. Do you need the round one or the plastic one with that notch deal in it??? I ask as I dont know if yours is a stock 78 one or not...Round metal one as seen here......

        Once again thanks for the awesome help Chuck. I'm tempted to buy that master cylinder. But my 750 only has one front disk. Is it the same?

        Also yes the one I need is the metal round retainer

          That's what I had originally thought. From my research I think all the ninja MC's had a lever with finger groves in it. I think my lever is correct to the MC. I think my best current guess is a later 80's Suzuki. But they offered too many models to determine what it's off of exactly.

            Thought for some reason it was an E model with dual front brakes. In any case, the master i linked will work just fine. And PM me your address and i will get the retainer out to you this weekend...No charge.
