Rear hand lever brake
Now I'll see if I can post a pic.
I see that this is the 1st one I built and the front to back distance is 3". I altered that and reduced it to the 2 1/8" stated above making the piece welded to the lever shorter.
I have my doubts if the pic posted.

Guys, THE PICS POSTED!. I meant to mention I had to put an in line cable adjuster in the cable to be able to get sufficient cable adjustment.

Re: Rear hand lever brake
Tyl3r, They seem to work well. I haven't ridden much yet. I put it on all 3 KDX's I went thru this winter. The design evolved slightly to the measurements I quoted. I made the unit more compact on the last one. If I get the chance I'll take pics of the "current" model. Just make sure if you are going to build one, put an in line cable adjuster in. I had to take the 2 original cables apart and install those adjusters when I couldn't get enough adjustment at the lever.
