Has anyone fabricated a hand brake? If so could you please post some pictures of your design and how well it works and the price. I am trying to save some money and would rather make my own than buy a whole set up. Any tips would be great.....thanks

 

no but I was born and raised in alaska....

 

r6 brake master fliped, 5.5 feet of break line, and a rear caliperand bracket off of ebay. everything cost me about $80. i can lock up my rear wheel with my handbreak.

 

Do you have any pics of how you did it ?

 

or you can buy a gsxr front master put on left clip on flipped upside down get a longer hose and mount a bracket to your upper triple and the resevour the the bracket and you can get the fitting and the line from phil at 814-563-7292 i can lock my rear tire with 1 finger make sure you get a gsxr front master or r6 there pretty much the same and get the fitting for the rear with the line. good luck

 

i'll try and post them when i get home from work tonite.

 

Thanks guys any pic I can get wouldd help alot

 

just to let you know, i did the double caliper set up. how did you want to do yours ?

 

so you have one for the foot brake and one for the hand ?

 

I took a stock f3 rear master cylinder and JB welded a pressure fitting to the inlet. My lver is a stock clutch lever from a bandit I think. Its a 14mm piston

 

yup.........i did it that way so i can have constant pressure at all times on either foot or hand brake. i never tried doing it the other way, but i heard you have to completely let pressure off one before you grab the other. im pretty sure both ways work fine, and you would have to just get use to it. im still getting use to useing mine.

 

If you get a chance to post the pics i'ed like to see how you set it up
thanks

 

sorry i havent gotten a chance to post pics yet. im still at work and will be home in about 5 hour. i'll post them then. i promise

first time i ever done a link, probably won't work but check it out

 

heres mine

 

808 did you mill down the caliper brackets to fit the axle? or can toy buy the bracket from some where?

 

i basicly cut the brackets in half. but 905 should be selling dual caliper brackets soon. what kind of bike are you going to be doing the set up on.and how did you want to do your set up.

 

My bike is a 03 R1 a friend of mine has a 2001 gsxr parts bike and I can get his caliper and brake I think a gsxr caliper should work,? I just have to mill the brackett in 1/2 or get a new one. looking at your set up I think thats the best i've seen it's pimp as hell so im going that way.

 

808 Your **** looks pimp

 

thanks man.
