Rear brake on the bars? ON LOCK!
Rear brake on the bars? ON LOCK!
Here is a quick over view. My quad has a parking brake that is ran by a cable from the caliper to my clutch lever. When you set the brake w/ the lever a spring holds it. If you take the cable off the clutch lever - and attatch it to a different lever & perch, you now have a cable activated rear brake. Just attatch a spring on the caliper so that it snaps back. So simple it is scary.
Raining like hell, so can't test it out that good. I wont brag TO much untill im creeping bar wheelies one handed down the road.
Let ya know!

oh yeah, that lever is only temp. I have to get a Decompression lever that I can use like 1 finger on. That is my clutch lever off my quad zilla , i needed something and stores arn't open today. Once i get a small lever, its on.
I want to move it to the right side (throttle side) so i can do some one handed tank wheelies. HELL YEAH! 12 oclock tank wheelies are mine.
-god.

a De-Comp lever, was used on like the bigger 4 stroke bikes that you had to kick over. You pull in the lever while you kick it over, it lowers the compression so you can actually kick it over. I just need the style of lever it was, very small and meant for 1 or 2 fingers.

If i can get a few of these levers, i'll pick em all up. we can corner the market on pimp bar stuntin'. hopefully my boy @ my local yamaha / kawi' dealer stocks them so i can get the hook up.
Keep you dudes posted, if not im gonna check my local atv salvage yard or ebay or some ****.

he has a lever in stock, but the **** is hardened plastic. I have to try it out and make sure it won't brake. I might have to cut down an aluminum lever.
If the decomp lever works in plastic, i'll but all of em.
2 in the pink. 1 in the stink.
