P1000 Parking Brake

[Hawk53]

Has anyone tried adding a REAL parking brake to the Honda Pioneer 1000? Note that I'm talking about a cable actuated parking brake, one that provides mechanical redundancy, unlike the the cheap addons that rely on the existing hydraulic brakes. Bust a brake line while parked on a hill, and it's a very bad day.

Parts are readily available, so adding a mechanical parking brake shouldn't be too difficult, except for the calipers themselves. The existing brake calipers could be replaced with combination parking brake calipers, if suitable brake calipers could be located that fit the existing mounts, even if they use different pads. Separate parking brake calipers could be added, but it would be much more complicated because custom mounts would have to be fabricated.

You have to have a mechanical parking brake in Michigan to pass inspection to become street legal

Snuff did... but if you have an updated master cylinder your “cheap add ons” work great. The new master cylinders are dual meaning you have separate front and rear breaks.

Which year started “updated master cylinder”?

I don't know how I've survived without being run over and crushed during one of the 1000 times I've parked on a steep incline wirh my single master brake reservoir and no parking brake on my 16 PK3. JEEZ !
I now have the Hillbilly Brake, and it works.
