inverting rear brake lever question ?

[neil p]

I would like to put the rear brake lever on the drum of my paralever up out of the way.

I´m sure i´ve seen it done by inverting the lever and a bracket to hold up the cable.

Has any one tried this ?

Cheers

You'll need a different actuating cam. a mirror of the current one.

bmwboxersupplies.com and gletter.de sell the bracket.
You also need a different brake arm... bmwboxersupplies has a stock of them, used, if you ask him nicely... off a /5 I think

Hey up
I tried to alter one a while back on a g/s - no sucsess
I have got one TTech on me latest GS and like the look of it - but the original bracket off the bevel box (HPN) was bending the cable outer too sharply for my likeing and I made one that is more sweeping in operation - Looks fab but I recon the cable does not operate as easy as the standard lower one and more effort is needed to operater the shite brake
Would I buy one no cant see as the original would be likely to be knocked off in a bump anyway - and if it did would you miss the back brake for a while till you fixed it

I know that Howard Millichap (ex of this parish) would have the info you need. I'm not sure whether he's still registered, but if he is I would drop him a PM.
