Parking Brake Install Hannigan / 1800A
Just received my "Parking Brake Kit". I have a 2004 1800A with a 2009 Hannigan Conversion. The kit came with no paperwork whatsoever. Just the caliper / cable / actuator lever/ and a small two bolt backing plate for the lever. I'm hoping to start the install in a couple of weeks but, so far, haven't even been under the bike. ( At 70 years of age and with a bad back, I don't crawl under very much any more. Takes ages to get back up. :laugh: ) I'm looking for help or advice from anyone who has actually done the job. I know there are a few photos on this site but, they are for the left side of a Yamaha.
My question (s) would be: 1. Am I correct to presume that this "kit" installs onto existing suspension bolts and that is why it comes with no brackets of any kind. 2. If I am correct, does anyone have any idea of which ones and, if I am to remove and replace existing suspension bolts, the torque settings for reinstallation.
My Hannigan dealer in Kingston Ontario went out of business. The next closes dealer is a few hours away in Quebec and for some reason doesn't seem to know how to reply to emails. Next option is a two day ride away and all he can talk about is how complicated and expensive this job is which I tend to think is pure BS. I sent email to Hannigan but, as usual, they seem to have the same problem as their Quebec dealer.
Any help would be appreciated. I can plan ahead for the job and the Chiropractor afterwards....
