Machined from 1018 Steel, these Rear Brake mounts are a perfect fit for your stock Brake Lever and Pivot. The Machined Shell includes a Grease fitting, to keep your rear brake operating smoothly. None of the aftermarket Weld On Tail sections offer a brake mount, leaving it up to the owner or fab shop to come up with something that works. Now you can use these to simplify your build, and keep it clean. Only $23.50 Shipped in the US!!

Install is simple, find where you want to locate your brake lever on your frame, trim the supplied section of pre-notched tubing to the height you desire, notch the opposite end to fit the frame (if needed), and weld it all up.

Here are a few shots of the lever mocked up. :thumbsup:

Don't want to keep the stock brake lever? Using Forward Controls?? This will still work great to actuate the rear break, just keep your stock pivot and all the hardware that attaches it to the rear drum, weld the pivot to your desired location and cut down the stock brake lever to attach to your forwards. On the cut down brake lever, you will drill a hole to attach the brake rods from the forward controls. (usually supplied with your Forwards)

You will receive 1 Machined Pivot, 1 Pre-Notched Mounting Tube, and 1 Grease Fitting. Everything else shown is for reference only.

Hopefully this will make some of your builds a little bit simpler.

Hey Hugh,, can theses be used for forward controls?

Posted via Mobile

Yep, using the heims and rods that come with your forwards, you just cut down the stock brake lever, drill a hole in it, and mount the heim joint with a bolt. Super simple...
 
Selling alot of these, thanks alot gang.

And yes, if you come up with a mount for the stock master cylinder, these fit the disc brake pivot.
 
Are there any installed on a bike pics?
Wondering minds....

Thanks SGJ From Hooligans build thread (an awesome bit O work!)
