Has anyone converted their Eton Viper to a foot brake(like Kasea) for the rear brake?If so,what did you have to do to do it?

You might want to give Rich at http://www.hetrickracing.com/ a call. I remember reading that he makes custom stuff like this. Email / Call because they don't list it on their web site.

Hope this helps....

That looks like the stock bracket for the rear fender support and stock chaingaurd. Very nice indeed.

markvette,what is the link to the website where you got that pic?I found a k-fab on google but all I saw was mini bike parts.

k-fab

hope this works, he uses the master cylinder off a yamaha yfz quad because it has the built in fluid resivoir.

It shouldn't be too big of a deal.I am definately going to do it to ours.My son is much more comfortable with a foot brake.

That may be our next project as well.. I didnt know it could be done!

Just got done talking to Kenny at K-Fab and my Eton foot brake conversion kit is being built

.By the way,this is a true bolt-on kit now.No welding is needed

Posted by: wvspeedfreak

Just talked to Kenny at K-Fab and the Brake pedal assembly should be here first of the week.It comes with a custom built pedal,yzf master cylinder with built in fluid reservoir,brake pedal and master cylinder brackets and a braided ss brake line.I will post pics as soon as I get it installed.

Posted by: wvspeedfreak

For those of you who were interested in seeing the installed pics here you go.Installation was a breeze and everything fit great.

I just got it installed last night and between the weather and my work schedule I am not sure when he will get to try it out

Posted by: newnick

I know how that goes! What does that cost, roughly, for a Eton?

Posted by: wvspeedfreak

It was $220 for everything.Considering you get the master cylinder,custom pedal and brackets,a stainless braided hose and it is completely bolt on,I thought it was a decent deal.

Also the customer support from K-FAB is great.
