As long as the 1000X has been in existence it has had a rear brake only and that was operated by the right side handlebar control. This was a required because the slightly oversized engine left no room for the stock foot brake mechanism. This arrangement was fine for trail riding but after a few close calls with the woods at the end of the drag strip I decided something had to be done.... and I was looking for a garage project and excuse to drink beer. This project required some redneck engineered brackets, brake pedal arm, and master cylinder mount. It is currently in the testing and refining stage but it looks promising and having the front brake back makes a huge difference with this pig.

That is some impressive tinkering.

"slightly oversized engine" I think that might be an understatement...
I still need to stop by sometime and check that thing out.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Its getting a little cold up here in WI to take the X out on the trails but I have ambitions of taking it out on the ice this winter. Not sure how to stud for that much power but I'm willing to give it a try. I've been reading through some tire studding threads on the forum but more research is needed. If anyone has advice, I'm all ears.
Oscarmayer,
Feel free to PM with the specs of the gussets you would like cut. I suspect that it would more cost effective to purchase a pre-made gusset kit because the design time of getting it into CAD isn't quick but I would be willing to take a look if you want to send me the info.

Apparently the wife has decided to get rid of me (no surprise) and her chosen way to accomplish this was to get me a Go Pro HD helmet cam and let me finish off myself. Along with this came a 2 step MSD rev limiter for the 1000X that will let me launch at a more consistent RPM. The stock rev limiter at 13500 will still work but this adjustable limiter will cut out whenever the clutch is pulled in. Then when the clutch is released all hell breaks loose. I don't yet have a clutch switch so I was playing with it using a pushbutton for the clutch switch. The video is pretty much useless but I wanted to test the helmet cam and the rev limiter set at 4k so this is all we get until spring time (or studded tires maybe).

Finally got the new Go Pro camera out on the trails. It was a little cold for too much craziness but I managed to make a few runs before freezing. I have often wondered what exactly is going on with the chain and swing arm so a camera mounted behind the foot peg answered that question.
