The servo mount on my 2001 ZL800 has broken where the cables clip onto it. I noticed when I took it off the sled that it looks like the cables could be attached to the other side of the mount, where the plastic has not broken. I know that you can't just move the cables there because the servo motor spins in the wrong direction to use the other side.
My question is this. If I swap the leads on the servo motor can I then use the other side of the mount that is not yet broken. I'm not sure if you can buy just the plastic that you need to mount this thing, and the part costs $400 if you need to buy the whole assembly!!

Why did the mount break in the first place? Are your valves gummed up and stuck?? Check it out before replacing parts just to have them break again...

it sure looks like it was meant to work in either direction... Maybe I will just try it.

Swapping the leads and using the other side mounts worked AWESOME!! Keep that one in your bag of tricks guys. I have no idea why it broke, the valves were both working freely...
