The Pendal parking break !


 

 



I bet I had some of you. !


But anyway the break looks like TOP NOTCH quality and workmanship.

I'm ordering one within the next few weeks........

[STroppy]

Had one for quite a while now . . Very handy

A park brake is one of the best farkles to have, in my opinion.

[hobs]

For others like me, what is it and what does it do? Isn't parking in gear not adequate any more? Please explain?

[spanner]

Anytime you could think of iaeing a hand break in a car you can do it with a bike now.

[ST2UP]

Parking with your nose down hill gives some added protection with the Parkbrake, but the 2 places that stand out to me is when stopped uphill at a stop sign etc ?? And in our case with the Hyperlite brake lights if stopped at road works etc, I flick the Pendle on to have brake lights flash but still be hands and feet free of controls etc.


Hardest thing after fitting was remembering I had it fitted to use

I used mine a great deal on our recent trip to Tassie.   Like ST2UP stated, it's important to remember that it's there.

Also useful when you crest a hill annd there before you is a terrific Panorama, so you pull over to take the shot. In neutral, engine idling but on a slight downhill slope, handbrake on, remain seated, camera out, take shot. And away you go, no trying to fight trying to stop the bike taking off down the hill. A quick stop, click n go.

I know there are other ways but this a great use of the HB.

How does it work? Does it work off the handbrake lever?
Any chance of a photo of it installed?

I need photos before I scoff

[saaz]

It works off the front brake lever. It installs where the bolt holding the brake lever goes, and you use it to keep the brake lever on. I have used the Middleton handbrake on the ST1100 for years. I really miss having not one.

Here you go Hobs.

Thanks Pete,

Just realised that the original photo from Spanner has it sitting on a 20c piece.
Couldn't work out what the disc on the bottom was for was for.
