I need help with how to do a rear hand brake on a buell can anyone help me | ||

Yes. But first, I need a bit of backround; is this for handicaped or stunting or what? | ||

Stunting | ||

There's a ton of info available. Google is your friend. The way I've seen it done is by using a clutch master cylinder/lever setup and mating it to a rear brake slave cylinder (caliper) on the left handlebar using a short lever under the clutch lever. | ||

is there a way to mate the foot brake and a externel hand brake to a single caliper? | ||
| Panhead_dan |
I have no experience with this but I don't see why you couldn't just add a "T" to the brake line. | ||

OK i googled buell rear hand brake and did not come up with too much I really need a step by step on how to do this and what parts i need to order. I was thinking about rigging some kind of clutch type cable to run to the slave and pull up on the existing brake i think it may work without having to have an extra caliper | ||

http://www.thestuntfactory.com/gphaki.html This is the first thing I found on a google search. There's a lot more there. Try to ignore the fact that these kits don't say Buell. Dude, there's damned little Buell stuff out there. Do a little research; determine the volume of the rear brake caliper and the volume of the rear brake master cyl. Find a hydrolic clutch setup of the same volume that will mount on your handlebar. A new line would likely have to be custom built, including a longer bolt for a banjo fitting. This way, you could just stack the two lines. Another option would be to have a new line made up with a "T" in it. | ||

You can easily "T" it all together. Just have to look it all over real well. | ||

I think i may have found one that will work at moto haven but it says it is for a kawi i just hope the brake line is long enough or not too long | ||

I ended up buying a different Nissin master cylinder so I could fit the teardrop shaped piece like the one pictured below. I used the screw to hold it on but also used a hose clamp around the whole thing just to make it extra secure so it didn't leak. But here's one website that would sell the whole setup: http://www.fullthrottleinc.net/store/index.php/cPath/16_70_83  | ||

Better yet, this is what I used: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Handbrake-Adaptor-junction-valve-stunt-valve_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ65Q3a1Q7c66Q3a4Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a200QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem27a9002dd3QQitemZ170339085779QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories   | ||

This might work also, even tho it says it only fits those specific bikes. Looks like you can use this if you wanna keep the stock master cylinder...... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Handbrake-Full-Throttle-Hand-Brake-Adapter-Line_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZQ7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a30QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em14Q2el1262QQhashZitem53d57ca2f2QQitemZ360064000754QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories (Message edited by duff24 on June 06, 2009) | ||

One of my co-workers runs a stunting parts business on the side, I will hit him up and see what he has for 3rd brake kits for us. |
