It escapes me as to why I removed the PB in the first place, but I do know I made several attempts to try to reinstall it & for the life of me cant figure it out & said screw it. That was a season or 2 ago. Snows falling & getting my to do list done & seen the box of parts & thought I'd make another attempt at it. Befor I do is it even necessary? If so is there a step by step somewhere for the mentally challenged such as myself? At one point in the past I believe these parts broke the speed of sound as they were hurled accross the garage in disgust. Pretty much why I said F-it.

I pulled them off all my sleds. For the rare occasion I need one, I drilled a hole in the brake lever that I can stick a cotter pin in when the lever is squeezed.

Dont know why anyone would take them off in the first place ,they are a good saftey feature to have on your sled just my two cents.

I think when I pulled off my chaincase it had to come off???...something like that.
I forget, but it wasn't for nothing.

i took mine off because i put a 5 inch riser on and the old cable wouldn't reach.... and the oil, throtle, and brake line was around $500 with the risers so i said who needs a parking brake and ditched it...

i took mine off also - I've had the gear case apart too many times lately (and added longer cables) and got tired of messin with it. I keep a long velcro strap aroung the bar risers to clamp the brake lever down if i ever need it - never used it

??????Your telling me the Riser handlebar set up you have cost you $500?
BTW I removed them also, high rise or not they get in the way more than they do any good IMO

yes i think... i live in elko and the parts are through the roof... my renthals where 125 the risers where 112 and the brake cable was around 65 the oil was around 65 and the throttle was around 65 so more like 450... i know i got banged with no lube but thats when i first started so i didn't know to use the net.... live and learn right....
