this is on a 92 sporty 1200. it didn't have a brake rod with it and trying to get it back together soon. the way it is working is by pulling on the master cylinder rod. it should be pushing on it, does anyone know how to hook this up to the rear master cylinder/. thanks

Unfortunately I've no idea . I was merely curious so I did a bit of searching online and found these pictures . My guess is that these are aftermarket forward controls and not very well designed ones . I fail to see why the brake pushrod couldn't have been designed to attach to the opposite side of the pedal pivot and act directly on the master cylinder . Maybe you would do better to junk this thing and find some more conventional controls .
