And the Goldwing owner never suspected a thing untill the first red light

Frankly, for your application I'd be thinking of a cable system that links the parking brake cable and avoiding the Spyders primary braking system entirely.
Actually, since I also ride two wheels I like stopping with the hand brake. If I didn't ride other motorcycles I probably wouldn't feel that way, but I get both with this system.

Doesn't that compromise the original redundancy by connecting both elements of the Spyder's dual master cylinder through his manifold?

My thought is ...yes, but thats what he chose to do.

UPDATE ON MY HAND BRAKE MOD
I have made a couple of changes in the hand brake.
Normal foot brake action the slave cylinder shaft stays in the hole in the clevis. However, if the brakes on the Spyder had to be bled, to remove air, the foot brake arm would be moved far enough for the shaft to fall out of the clevis, during this operation. Getting it back in would add a lot of frustration to the bleeding process.
To facilitate this I bored the hole in the clevis a little deeper, to 18.5mm. Then using a 45 degree countersink I tapered the entrance to the hole. This cone shaped entrance provides a self guide for the end of the shaft making it easy to re-insert it into the hole. I also removed the nut from the salve cylinder shaft to be able to use the extra depth of the hole for the shaft. I re-adjusted the position of the cylinder to take up the gap between the end of the shaft and the bottom of the hole.
Here are photos of this mod.

Hot Wheels isci is coming out with a front brake system. www.industrialspecialty.com

-
I've been waiting for this front brake kit a long time too. Glad to be of help. Now I just hope it is reasonably priced.

hotwheels, I am also having a pain the ass problem with my cable system, I got a few more things work on it with, I have a t8 sci and the floorboards I have work great, I don't have to velco my feet on like on my landing greared zx12, saving me a ton of time. if you want look at the pic's in the wheelchair mount shop section. the guy that made the floorboards for me is in a chair and he cuts some of the plastic out for my feet to sit in, I get as far forward on my seat as a can and then velco around my legs so my knees do flop around, can cut corners at 90+ and can stay on, if you need more pics or info, call me 218-556-3994. work nights so call in the after noon.

Well SethO Yes please send me any other pics that you have i did check out the ones that you have up so far and they look very impressive the ones things that I familiarized my self with was the strap you use. I guess to hold your self to the seat I was using the same method when I would ride my ATV but then I because of my lack of balance the Velcro strap would fall on my tightly on my thigh were I developed and wound that was cause by the rubbing. But I didn’t want to go the same route this time knowing that I would be ridding my spyder more so I went with a harness Black Diamond Momentum Speed Adjust Harness www.backcountry.com. And I did that because it wraps around my waist and not so much of a strain on that wound that is still trying to heal after more than 5 years. Now the harness has a big clip on buckle in the front easy to put on and off and then two straps that are bolted to the two bolts under the seat to makes sure I don’t slide from side to side. But I would like to see more pics that you can offer. You can send them to me at madface31@aol.com and we can compare notes.

Thanks for the info.. I'd like to get one too. Now we may have two sources for a hand brake. I called ISCI and am waiting for them to call back. And I sent AJS an e-mail. So we will see what I here from both of them.

I'm glad to see some kits on their way to market. I'll have to admit that I have carried some guilt feelings for not making parts for others but I just don't have time to do that. I can't seem to get to the things I want to do for myself.
I hope these guys are coming out with some good systems at a good price.

Hello just reading all about hand brakes can someone let me know what size brake line I would need for this setup plus has someone found a clevis that work with this. Thats the last two things I need for it.
thank you all help you can give
-
Hello big Q I did this brake setup and a master cylinder for a 09 goldwing and I can't get it to lock the hand brake go's all the way to the grip could the master not be moving enough fluid the slave don't look like it is moving the whole way that it should be
thank you for any help
Robert

If you have the same red coleman clyinder,the slave diameter is larger than the master.
I think the coleman is 23mm ..So you have to match it to your master size.
I have the same prob on my spyder only because I was tired of fiddling with the setup and chose to ride it with only about 80% braking power. But it is going to be solved soon cause i bought the isci handbrake kit. Havent installed it yet, but will soon.
-
Just like to ask everyone that has done this setup. How do you like it. Did it work as well as the foot brake.
Thank you for any input

The ISCI setup is pricy no doubt, but the workmanship and quality is second to none! The brakes will reach full engagement before the lever reaches the grip. They did a great job of coordinating fluid volume movement with lever resistance. Im glad I broke out the wallet!

Nexus and Trikster...
Great work and step by step instructions. Now I can tackle this project without hesitation. I keep reaching for a hand brake and now I can have one. Thanks for all the photos and information. /Ken
