Harley FXST Forward Brake Control Plate  (OEM #42507-86, 1986-E87)

Please note there were four variations on the late Shovelhead and Evolution-era brake control plates: 

First Generation:   1983-86 FXWG & 1984-85 FXST (#42507-82)
Second Generation:   1986-E1987 FXST, & FXSTC   (#42507-86)
Third Generation:   L1987-88 FXST, FXSTC, and FXSTS  (#42507-87A)
Fourth Generation:   1989-99: (#42507-89A--smaller plate; master cylinder & reservoir mounted separately.)

This is the second generation plate, OEM #42507-86, which is distinguished by the absence of a frame clamp at the rear, inside location, which is correct.    It also uses the early, side-mounted, aluminum barrel-type master cylinder.    In contrast, Type 1 plates DID feature a frame clamp, and Type 3 plates used a new master cylinder style which was mounted to an integrated (welded on) master cylinder bracket.  For '89 and later, brake plate and master cylinders were separately mounted, and the brake plate was truncated to half the original size.

Plate is in square condition, and it retains its original black wrinkle finish.
