I was trying to throw on some pazzos on my 07 600RR and I hit a road block. The clutch lever went in almost flawlessly but the brake lever is giving me headache.

I took it to markham outdoor power and quickly found out that the assembly/harness that the lever connects to, which also holds the brake fluid and connection point with other cables, is aftermarket.

Obviously, doing this the honda route would cost way more than the levers themselves are worth so the way i see it i have 2 options.

1) Find that specific harness somewhere such as kijiji, or some sort of motorcycle part out place. I dont really know of any such places and have not found anything on kijiji so far.

2)Using the part break down of the brake master cylinder from Honda, try to figure out which part im missing just get that part from Honda or elsewhere

#13 on this page is the whole harness/mounting bracket that I was told i would need to replace if I just want to make it OEM. Unfortunately the part i need is not sold individually.

The off color, metallic brown piece is the culprit

I threw some pictures in, hopefully someone can help me out.

That lever doesn't look stock. Can you contact the original owner?
 
It looks like the whole master cylinder is changed unless I'm blind and uneducated (which I might be lol)

Ya, the lever is not stock but thats not the problem, its whats behind the lever.

I contacted the original owner and he said it was in fact stock. After i compared it to 3 other exact model CBRs I noticed that the mounting system is in fact stock. (Or all 4 bikes have the same aftermarket mount lol)

The difference i noticed is whereas mine has a small nipple with a gold tip to engage the brake, theirs has a nipple with a stick which is longer and thus engages the brake lever at a farther distance. In the second picture you can see the nipple but what there should be is a nipple with a stick.

I need to try and find that piece. Im looking at the part breakdown for that whole section that was given to me by honda but cant make out the piece I need

-The thing you keep calling a "brake harness" is the master cylinder. It just makes things easier if we're all on the same page

-Are there any symbols on the front of the brake lever? It kinda looks like somebody MacGyvered a lever from a (knockoff?) Brembo M/C onto the OEM M/C... there would normally be a knob attached to that shiny silver screw

-You might be right about that "rod push" part... you may need the boot as well. TBH I can't quite figure out what was done here from that picture
 
The master cylinder is stock. The brake lever and the silver threaded pin seen in the second picture is not. If i remove the lever, the silver pin comes with it and all thats left is the master cylinder and that little boot with the golden nipple that you can also see in the second picture.

When i go to put the pazzos on and line up the holes to slide the bolt/nut through that fixes is to the master cylinder, the golden nipple is not activated by the brake lever because there is too much of a gap between the nipple and the lever. There needs to be a push rod on top of the golden nipple that fits inside the pazzo.

Hole in the pazzo seen here http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c296/rob_prevatt/pazzo002.jpg


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This basically sums up my headache for the past 2 days http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/1724/80055869.jpg

The difference between this and the second picture in OP is i have a small golden nipple and this seemingly stock unit has a rod which is long enough for the pazzo to sit properly and engage the braking mechanism inside the boot.
