home made RZR emergency brake with auto release

here's a little vid of it working

Cool

Cool!!

Nice man!!

Excellent!!

Awesome

Ya....I guess....but how do ya set the thing......have to reach way down by the brake mechanism and push the lock over with your finger??? If this is the case, I think it needs a bit more refining I think I'd much rather have your creation Jimbo

nice idea, roadie, now add a engagement lever and that would sell!

Not trying to sell it just passing along my idea. It's Simple to make and easy to use, yes you have to reach down to set it.

I will put a handle on it just for you. I wasn't taking it as a insult , just saying it was simple to make.

Simple and effective.good job

Looks pretty good. I've got one of the cable brakes off of ebay. Works great. It auto releases also when you press the brake. It uses a cable like a throttle or choke cable to ingauge it

update for Foxfire

Looks good. Is that a heavier spring now or the same? I like the handle.

heavier spring works great

Hell ya Roadie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now your smokin!!!!!!!

I did basically the same setup (except my bracket wasn’t so pretty). In order to activate it, I ran a clutch cable.

I put a spring on mine so I wouldn't forget to release it. I when I had the Teryx I would forget all the time, and drive off with the brakes on.
