Hi every one Im James I have one of those china bikes dont know the name but its a 125 with the 12 rear and 14 front wheels, I love it but my problem is it has a disc rear brake and I want to build a hand brake for it. I searched every where for help with no luck. will a hydro clutch mastercylender and lever work? any help would be awsome thanks

 

some of the cheap disc set ups pull wit a cable if thats what you got its easy thats also the way to get the hand brake to be a little forgiving hdyro and master only lock it up it wont be any good to stunt like i said the cable pull disc set up is the ****

 

buddy of mine had a knockoff with disc brakes and he took off his foot lever and put a hydro clutch master off a streetbike on and ran the line to rear caliper. worked great just no foot break

 

^^^ where did he mount the resi. ? If it was on the lever , was it mounted upside down ?

 

no it was a clutch master with the res/lever together already made for the left side of the handlebar.

 

I am just thinking out loud here so dont hold me to this...
I think you could possibly make something work cause i know in the dealer books they have alot of "T" connectors and stuff like that to extend brake cables and stuff. Maybe just take one of these and set up a hydraulic clutch and perch assy and splice it in with the existing line....???

I am saving up for the bbr kit to try this(it will be a lil bit but when ive tried it, i will post up and let yall know).

Ive asked Full Throttle Inc. before and they said they wont mess with fiddy stuff( but this was a while ago i dont know if he opened his eyes to the fiddy scene yet)

 

cable pull disc set up looks like the way to go thanks every one for the help>

 

i've done it that way ona few streetbikes for friends adn one time for myself.. not that hard either, jsut use a clutch perch from a hydro bike like an older FZR1000 or a ducati..best place to find them is M/C salvage yards to keep it cheap, then go to a hydraulic fitting shop adn get a hose and fitting made to fit your application

also you can rig a cable to pull up on the master cylender at the rear brake pedal.. it takes a little fabrication but no too bad, and it keeps a little more "feel" in the handbrake

 

run a cable that pulls the back of the lever up so it pushes the tip of the lever down, my buddies got a 450 with a auto clutch and he runs a hand brake like that its sick

 

well I ran a bicycle brake and cable the cable pulls up on the master cylinder. at first it didnt work but it was only because the return spring was to strong, so i took it off and it works perfect didnt need it the cable acts as the return spring. Ill take pics soon, thanks every one for the help.

 

Post em' bro

 

true that post a couple pics thats tight
