can ne1 give me detailed instructions on how to make one of these! And maybe tell me where to get all the parts?!?!?!? Thanks in advance!!!!!!


Ps Shugga let me know when the raffle starts! thanks!

 

motoworldracing.com rocks for fiddy parts

 

I made my own using bmx bike parts. It won't lock up the rear wheel but it works if ya just need help balancing out the wheelies.

 

i made my own also. i have a rear hand brake and a rear foot brake. its kinda pimp xcept the foot lever moves when u squeeze the hand brake ..oh well works good cost less the 20 bucks to make. if u want details on how to make it then send me a pm or sumfin.

 

ok i got like 10 pm's asking how to do this so im gonna let yall know how. here is a list of parts u will need

Bmx brake lever
bmx brake cable
2 hose clamps
1 piece of 3/8 heater hose for a car or any other substitute will work but this is what i used for mine. my friend used a piece of an old inner tube for his.
1 zip tie
2 1/16" cable ferrules (i bought mine at sears hardware for like 40cents a piece)

step 1 : put your bmx brake lever on.
step 2 : put your cable onto the lever
step 3: route your cable to the rear brake hub
step 4: loop the cable around the brake arm
step 5: slide your 1/16" cable ferrule over the brake cable
step 6: squeeze the ferrules real real tight so it cant slide out
step 7: put the heater hose on your swingarm and place the brake cable under the hose
step 8: adjust the brake by pulling the brake cable tight and clamping it down with the 2 hose clamps (it might take a few tries but u will get it right)
step 8: use the zip tie to secure the cable from rubbing on your exhaust or anything (i zip tied mine to the little thing inbetween the head and the carb it might be call the intake neck or something) after that u r done. i added the pics to hopefully help yall out.
