If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

I am having no luck at all finding a handbrake cable for a 1982 GS450GA.
Any one have any ideas of what might work ?

Any info such as length and routing path would be appreciated.

thanks
 
Don't know the length, but it travels from the master cylinder down behind the headlight shell and down the back of the L/H front fork staunchion. Should have a clip on the staunchion below the dust seal. Always use a length of string to get an idea of length.
 
The parts fisch show that a 82GS450a has a front disk brake It has a hose but no cable ???

I was assuming he was referring to the parking brake. some call the parking/ emergency brake as a hand brake, and the GA has a park brake.
 
Parking brake cable

Parking brake cable

Yes that is what it is called. I was looking for one also a month ago. Could not find one for my 83 450a. Suzuki made that model for 2 yrs. and that makes that part extinct............. almost, got lucky on ebay 2 weeks ago and bought it. $30.00 with lever parking brake cable and choke cable. Choke cable was seized and the lever assembly was for another model but....... the parking brake cable was the item I needed and that was used but not seized, so a cable for a dinosaur....... PRICELESS...... Good luck and happy bidding or check cycle salvage yards across the USA.
