This and the MC cruise are the best farkles I have installed, both constantly used
Hi Tony, it's good to know you're still in the business of making these extraordinary little devices.
I'm with Brian on this subject.  ++

Hi all...this is a very old topic....but I received a very welcome email from Tony last night and I have been able to purchase one of his terrific brakes from the UK site this morning (for my st1100).
Not sure if he has any more in the pipeline...but I think the 1300 one is currently also available.

Hello Chris
I have just put your Pendle Brake Lock into the mail box, its on its way - Thank you for your comments and support
Tony

G'day Tony....great news...the parking brake arrived in the mail today and I installed it in 10 minutes tonight after work. Wow! What a great piece of gear...I am also very impressed with how it matches the original colour of the bike and appears part of the original Honda equipment. Thanks again and highly recommended to other owners!

Have had my Pendle brake lock for a couple of months now and agree that this is a terrific piece of gear. So useful when stopped at lights, on hills or elsewhere.

It's magic for holding the bike when I stop in neutral to grab photos of Town Signs without stopping the engine.
Just don't forget to release it, because it really does work...

Hi Folks
Hello from up here to all you guys and gals down there.
Yes I am still around, a bit older but still biking and camping all around Europe on my ST1300.
I had to change my web address, sorry I did not let you know.
New site is
www.tworrall.uk
Thanks for all the brill feedback for my Parking Brake - it seriously is appreciated.
Nice to know you are still useful when you are an old bugger.
Kind regards
Tony

I'm guessing you're still looking for a V-Strom to do the measurements for a version of the Parking Brake.  I'm sure there's a lot more V-Strom owners than ST owners in the world who would buy one.  If I was in the UK I'd lend you my bike to do the measurements (even if it meant what they call "a long ride" over there).  :grin

Hi folks,
I have been asked by many bike owners such as Vstrom, BMW and Yamaha but sorry to say none of them have turned up at my door.
I have even offered to give them a unit F.O.C. but still no action.
So sorry
Tony

Would a high definition photo of the location with a ruler next to it give you any ideas?

There would be nothing lost in me having a provisional look to see if I think it would be possible.

As far as Goldwings are concerned, some of them use the same Master Cylinder as the ST1100s and the ST1300s but not all.
If you have Wing then send me some photos of yours (Close up) and I will let you know if one of my Pan types will fit.

Thanks for photo. It looks possible but I would need more photos / info.
1   A similar photo but includes showing the position and shape of the Reservoir.
2   A photo taken from the front of the lever which shows the relative heights of the lever etc.
3   A detailed drawing of the Hinge bolt showing all lengths and diameters.
Sorry but I do need to know these things if I am to have a chance making an intelligent judgement as to whether I could make one.
Alternatively if anyone has a scrapped lever assembly including Master cylinder and they could send it me then I am 90% sure I could make one.
Tony

It might be best if I share all this over on the Oz V-Strom site.  Graham (Streak) who co-founded this club bought a Strom and established a club for them which is quite active.  It's in their interest that this gets done.  I do understand the complexity of the design and the fine tolerances.

From the photo you have sent me I can see that a unit for the Vstrom would be similar to the ST1300 not the ST1100.
It would mean a small drilling job with a template and drill that I supply.

Tony

I've got the ST1300 one, and have it on a second ST1300.  The template and drill worked perfectly. 
Measuring the centre of the hinge pin to the centre of the drilled hole comes in at 48mm on my ST.  The same distance on the V-Strom (i.e. to the relative position on the triangle) is 46mm.  It's possible to drill at 48mm on the V-Strom placing the hole 3mm beyond the triangle mark.  The hole would need to be aft of the straight line to be in the centre of the lever.  Alternatively, you might be using a slightly shorter arm and template.

I would definitely make a shorter template and unit but I also need all the detail of the reservoir for the adjustment stop also I need accurate hinge bolt geometry.
I guess your ST1300 is the later type (A9) as the earlier ones (pre 2008) have a ctr hole distance of 42mm.
Thanks for info anyway.

I purchased one of Tony's parking brakes, and I really like it - it is extraordinarily convenient.

I wrote an illustrated post on the North American forum that provides more information about how to fit it - if anyone is curious, here is a link to that post: Tony Worrall's "Pendle Parking Brake" for the ST 1300.
