Changing Rear Brake From Lhs To Rhs

Recommended Posts

Hi as the title says i would like to change my brake pedal from the current LHS to the RHS on my FB. My other bike is RHS brake and i feel much more comfortable and balanced this way.

so im planning on running a cable through from the RHS to get back to the LHS to operate it. Theres a picture of Norman Shepherd on the yorkshire site members photo and he has this setup, but i just wondered what the setup was like on the opposite side of the bike.

the plan is to maybe weld a block on LHS at rear, tap it, and then use a cable stop adjuster like you get in the universal clutch/brake cable kits.

Anyone have any ideas or guidance what to do or more importantly not to do?

thanks..

Wow not struck on the tank and hardly scottish legal but when it's finished i bet that makes a tidy bike. Is it yours?

No, not mine, the frame is one of a short run. I had saved the pic. Obviously the tank is a slave item to run the bike.... :rolleyes:

one enterprising lad at yarkshire classic ( he lives in lancashire though..) has a brake on both sides of his cub!

As the enterprising lad I would if I new how to put a picture on the forum i would. The reason the brake is on both side is the way I did it, it still needed part of the old brake lever to work so I just left the whole thing in place.
