Hi, new here. Just completed the Angelsey PLOP at the weekend on a bog standard 90 & was surprised we were the only non modded bike there. Anyway, after one of my team mates was 'bumped off' the bike at Circus I've decided instead of repairing, I'll build a more competitive machine. So, noticed a few bikes running handlebar mounted rear brake set ups. Just wondering if theres a kit out there or what folk are using. I understand a Honda Melody brake cable fits perfectly if a bracket mod is done on the swingarm? Also any recommendations for fork dive/damping set ups and rear sets.
Cheers all
John

Re: cable operated rear brake.
My CT90 has a neat combination rear brake which can be operated by the left lever or the foot pedal. I suppose you would have to rely on parts from the US or elsewhere if you wanted to try that.

Re: cable operated rear brake.
As said above the ct90 has a cable/lever and foot pedal operated rear brake combined. While you are at it have a close look at the front anti dive setup on the leading link early ct90's. I'll be able to tell you how easy they are to put on a c90 in about a week .
