    Default Hand Brake

    Does anyone know if there is an option of hand brake for the spyder or if anyone makes or can retro-fit a hand brake on a spyder? I am despartely wanting to buy a spyder but do not have the sustained foot strength for the foot brake if I had to get on the brake hard due to being a paraplegic of 21 yrs........ I would appreciate any help! sparkee1982@yahoo.com

    There is a company that is in the process of fabricating a hand brake for the spyder however they haven't told us when it will be released. They did have it on a spyder in Daytona for bike week though.

    That being said there are several people who came up with alternate ways of installing a hand brake.

    welcome Search the other postings on this subject here under "Shop Talk", to see what some of us have done to fabricate our own handbrake systems. That may not help you if you are looking for a "turn key" solution but you will get some background information about the task.

    Default Hydralic Brake

    I put a Hydralic Brake on Mine. I completely Bypassed the foot Brake, Took it Off, and Made it so the LPS Switch Is Still Opperable. Works Great. I put mine on the Left Side Though.
