Was just wondering if anyone had tried this swap and how it turned out? I have a friend with a savage and after seeing it had the single front disc, wondered if I could swap over brake master cylinder/levers and clutch lever/perch from one to my 77 gs750 with no issues?

I have done it , and it works great, I have added twin full length {master to caliper ] stainless brake lines , rebuilt the calipers and now have 3 finger braking excellent way for improvement . Did this on my 1000G

To a single disk?No the master on the SV is for a 2 disk bike.Single disk masters are smaller bores.
 
I'm not sure what you're saying SVsooke, the savage my buddy owns is only single disk up front as is my gs750 since it's a 77. Are you saying that even though the savage is a single disk that the master is designed for a dual set up?
 
OK a Savage and the SV650 in your banner are diffent animals.The SV looks like this

And the Savage

A Savage master should work just fine,the SV would be to big.
 
Cool, perhaps I meant LS650 though I could've sworn I heard the owner call it an sv650. Anywhoot thanks for the info guys!
 
Doesn't the Savage use larger-diameter handlebars than the GS?
