Title: Pendle Parking Brake
Post by: TonyWorrall on October 06, 2018, 11:22:46 PM
Hello, my name is Tony and I am in the UK. I make the Pendle Parking Brakes for both the ST1100s and ST1300s. I just wanted to let you know that I have had to re locate my web site to a new server and as such my new address is   www.tworrall.uk (http://www.tworrall.uk).
I would also like to thank all my 'upside down' customers for their continued support and super feedback you send me. Have great rides this summer, its getting very wet and cold here following our record breaking hot summer.

Yep, both my 1100 & 1300 have them . . Very handy when stopping on a gradient to take a quick foto and not having to dismount.

I'd love to have one on the Beemer, as I miss the Pendle Brake that was on my ST.  It does have "Hill Start Control" that locks the front brake on, but it only works while the egine is running, and a mechanical lock would be nice.

... or stop the engine to hold the bike in 1st gear.

Also when at traffic lights and you need both hands to do something.  Invariably, there's just enough slope to make the bike want to roll forward or back.  Just remember to release it before you put it in gear and release the clutch...    :-[

The Pendle parking brake automatically disengages when you pull on the front brakes . .

I know.  But you've still got to remember to pull on the front brake, which you don't normally do when departing from a stop.

Tony - good piece of kit for our ST1300.
Similar to West Aussie Glen we would like one for our Goldwing.

You're in a queue!  He needs a V-Strom to measure to make them for the hundreds of V-Strom owners (are you reading this, Tony?  :grin )

P.S. make that thousands of V-Strom owners.
Actually, the V-Strom and Goldwing handbrakes are almost identical to the ST's.

i love love looooove my pendal parking break.

I use it every single time i go out ...... most traffic lights i stop at I use it because as stated above there is usually just enough of a slope to require either your hand holding the breaks or your foot on the breaks.

I wrote an illustrated post on the North American ST forum showing how to install the Pendle Parking Brake, and explaining how it works.
