LHRB Any ideas???????

[Stoby]

I've seen on some other sites where guys have made there own left hand brake set ups
Anybody over here done it? I sure dont want to spend $300 -won't,esp. if they can be built for much less. I've been looking at the bicycle ones and scooter setups .
Anyway I broke down and bought the rekluse so now I'd like to figure out the best/budget lhrb
Any info or ideas appreciated

Thanks

I read everything posted and I'm confused as hell. I see why people buy the Rekluse system just easier. No one had done a detailed step by step process

[StuJohnson]

you are correct - yes confusing.

My setup is a bit complicated because most of the parts I used are for a KTM 690 Adventure. If anyone is interested in the setup I would be happy to provide a step by step setup.

So there is no system that just ties into the current lines?

I see Slaven's has it at $289 for the Rekluse one

I'm now looking at the Clake, got an email into him. If I get one in I'll do a write up, how to and stuff.

Interested in how you make out with the clake that looks like quite the set up, but I'm a low budget /rather build it than buy it guy= I dont own a lot of money but own a lot of tools......
Can anybody provide me with an actual step by step + parts needed budget build?? My rekluse is on its way!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I'll get it together before its too coooold

Your setup is dependent on whether you keep your clutch or not. I run mine without the clutch lever and it works flawlessly and cost under $100. You simply need a custom brake line from Speigler, a banjo bolt for your clutch slave, some fuel line and zip ties.

If you want to keep your clutch the additional cost will be in purchasing another clutch master cylinder with lever, and then making a mounting bracket with a bark buster mount.

Both work well and are setup with the assumption you will be removing your foot brake pedal.

I initially thought I would like to have the clutch to override the Rekluse when I deemed necessary. After 100+ miles off tough northwest riding I discovered I had never touch the clutch and removed it. So, I have a cheap, under $100 setup that has worked perfectly since June. I have tested it on some very extreme and gnarly terrain and I won't be going back to a traditional rear brake set up ever!

Once you decide what you warn for your set up I'd be happy to post some pics and lay out an easy step by step assembly.

Good luck. Best mod I've ever done, period! Complete game changer.
