    MC are only for disc brakes to apply pressure thru fluid to apply brakes. If its drum brakes you would find your foot brake linked to a linkage that turns the brake lever at the Drum activate the brake shoes. No ques is dumb..some ask and learn easy..some learn the hard way..Cheers and welcome to the site...XJ550 is a nice machine. Good luck.
