i got a chinese replica 50 bike and my rear brake is just barely in front of my peg. i would like to get one that is longer. anyone know of one?

Crank50 · 11-08-2009, 08:34 PM

I have one of these:
SiK50 Extended Brake Lever CRF50/XR50
Works good.
Of course there are other options too...

eddy2324 · 11-08-2009, 08:39 PM

ouch. $70 for a lever. wasn't expecting that. anyone got another option?

if i don't find one crank i will get with you.

Crank50 · 11-08-2009, 08:43 PM

I bought mine on here for like $30 shipped. They don't pop up used too often tho...

eddy2324 · 11-08-2009, 08:49 PM

wow u just gotta make it a problem huh? lol jk then jb weld it! hahahaha

Id just search the classifieds maybe ull find one or a part out u can salvage one from....

oh don't tempt me with the idea of jb weld. i once punctured a hole in the side of my street bike case and i jb welded it shut. worked perfect. i don't think i've found anything yet that it won't fix.

but as far as the lever goes i will keep my eyes open on the classifieds. thanks.

PitRacerVince · 11-09-2009, 02:57 PM

im riding on jb welded cases right now too it works great on them, didnt work at all on my cracked exhaust tho kept cracking and falling off

96Justin · 11-09-2009, 03:01 PM

aluminum is weldable too you know

monaghan · 11-09-2009, 03:03 PM

the sik 50s is the cheapest one you will find, after that they go to billet and theyre over 100$

true but to pay someone to weld in an aluminum extention would cost more then a new lever.... not many avg joes can weld aluminum nor have the equipment

monaghan · 11-09-2009, 04:01 PM

i can weld aluminum its not hard.

eddy2324 · 11-09-2009, 07:38 PM

oh man i thought i was the only one using jb weld for crazy things. i'm gonna start a thread to see what other people have used it for.
