Next question in the saga - I swear I am making progress with her
Are the brake perches for the 72 model meant to be classic metal finish or painted? My one has peeling black paint and I'm wondering if this may have been a design feature by the P.O. Is it meant to be black or the metal finish?
Thanks, Mike

Re: Brake perches for 72 Buffalo
I have NOS 4LS brake perch. Its the typical Suzuki metal finish & the tip of the lever is covered with black plastic.

Re: Brake perches for 72 Buffalo
i think he means the perch not the lever.
She will never be pretty but hoping she will be a fun ride.

Both the perch & lever are the typical Suzuki metal finish.

Re: Brake perches for 72 Buffalo
Thanks guys. It just confirms my opinion of the PO as a tasteless sod who shouldn't have been allowed to own such a classic I shall get the paint stripper out.
