Rear brake lever/pedal

#1 Post by wayofthedarkhand » Fri Mar 01, 2013 2:41 pm

Does anyone have or know where to get hold of a rear brake (foot) lever?

I never replaced mine, and I've got an MOT coming up soon.

They are over £70 brand new once you add p&p.

carl - whats the problem with the existing one?

as my scooter is off the road at the moment, you could pop down and borrow mine for a couple of days....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Cheer, but I need to buy one really.

It's just bent to buggary.

It doesn't stop me riding or anything, but I need to get it sorted over the next few months, and was hoping to save £20 or so by picking one up second hand.

Have a look at who is breaking stuff on Eblag,hopefully you will find phone numbers and brake pedals, they're not really a sexy spare so should be a few around.
As for the mot, if the pedal can be accessed and operated without impedance (blah blah blah ) you should be ok

RoosterNI is breaking a falco too and is quite reasonable on price. Pm him

Doubt it - master cylinder arrangement is entirely different and it is adjustable on eccentrics if memory serves correct.
