go to a bike shop and buy 2 brake levers the ones i bought were $16 each. make sure at leaste one has a 2 piece mount.one will go on the handle bars and one on the swingarm.go to wallmart and buy bike fix brake cable set.it was $5.and go to a hardware store and get 2 nuts at least 1 locking.you will need to cut the plactic thats over the brake cable down to size.run your cable place cable through lever on swing arm and pinch cable between nuts at the end of the brake disc lever.i can lock my tire up with this setup.
