And you also have your reverse gear on o, there to boot Thanks Mikey -----I did not want to interrupt your thread , but since you asked : The wife fell out the bed and hit her head on the might stand , had a hickey on her head , bruised ribs and finger and a few black and blue marks on her face , was complaining of a headache , so we spent 5 hours in the ER today getting her checked out , everything from the fall seems ok , x-rayed her hand and ribs , but they say the cat-scan of her head showed she had a stroke sometime in the past , they are not sure when , so now she has to go for a few more test with her regular doctor I put a Yamaha Grizzly left front master cylinder and a Honda Gold Wing 1000 master on the pedal , tied them both together with a Banjo style tee fitting off a Fourtrax 250 , made new hoses to tie it all together , I have some pics of the build thread , just got to dig them up off the old site I would think there is an easier/ cheaper way to do it , it was a bit of work the way I did it ----- I would be ok with hydraulic on just the foot pedal or the hand brake , don't really need both I don't understand what you saying here :: Quote Mikey 59 " And you also have your reverse gear on o, there to boot " I would guess I am a year older than you , 58 ??

Yes wouldn't hurt to see pics Ok , yes the reverse lock out is tied into the left brake lever , where the lever has to be pulled before it can be put into reverse .... what I did was by-passed the reverse lock out Here is a link to the build thread of the 2000 450 , it is long ......... https://www.hondaatvforums.net/threads/2000-trx450fm-build-mods.123454/ The wife is ok for now , thanks for asking .........

Fishfiles 19,750 Posted May 31 Made my own brake hoses This is a must , it is a cap to block off any mud and water from getting into the caliper where the cable use to go , had to modify it a little This is the Gold Wing foot master , the reservoir is externally mounted up high on the cooler , but the pic is bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
