Aussie Annie Posted August 8, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2009 Squeeze, A while back a comment was made about the hand-control for the back brake(for disabled riders) that SPEIGLER makes and you offered to help me if I needed it...........guess what?? I NEED IT!! It is going to be safer if I can put the back brake up onto the handlebars--as my right foot needs to sit where the brake pedal is. Can you get me any information about it:think: You said the factory was not far from you, and I would appreciate any help okay:bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeeze Posted August 8, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 8, 2009 Sure Annie, no Problem, my Pleasure to help. Would you please sent me a Picture of your Bikes rear Brake Calipers, one from the full Side and one from behind where the the Pads go into the Caliper ? I'll call them on Monday and figure this out for ya. I'll PM you my Email Addie for the Pics. What Handle bar do you use ? Stock, this is a 1 Inch Diameter on the 2Gens. Didi you mount a different Handlebar and/or other Struts ? Because, you'll need a long Brake Line to connect this Thumb Master Cylinder and the rear Caliper. Best Option would be to take a Rope and hold it to the extimated Position of the Thumb M/C and feed the Rope to the Caliper on a safe Route, then cut the Rope, pull it out and measure the Lenght. What Side do you prefer ? Usually, this Thumb M/C goes to left Side on the Handle Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Annie Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted August 9, 2009 Squeeze-thank you for this I have Flanders handlebars, which are 1 inch. The hand control will be going on the left side. Measured from rear caliper, through bike, and to handlebar= 2.72 meters (for brake line) Alan took panniers off and took these pics, hope they are okay?( Pics 2 & 3 were taken looking through the wheel, from the other side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
