Wheel spacers will make the trike more stable. Sorry to hear about your leg, how did you do it, put you foot down?

no the peice that connects to it that runs from the lever in the back up to foot lever

and i tried to jump off and my shoe got caught sumwhere and my knee hit the handlebarand it broke my fibula on the side and on the topish

Sorry to hear about the leg. Hope feel better soon. I dont think I have that part. What ride is this for? Pictures? Maybe I can make someting like that.

1982 185s, we used a hardend peice of steel, it snapped it off where we bent it and... no more brakes...

I'm not getting what you are describing, but there should be a cable that connects the brake actuatur arm to the foot pedal itself. Are you saying it is a solid piece of metal between the two?

thats how mine was when we made a peice for it

You added highway pegs? No wonder you couldn't jump off without getting wrapped up in it

I have one, PM me your Addy and I will toss it on its way. just send me a MO or something for the shipping cost once you get it.

[SBPC]

ATCTIM, I think he is referring to the metal rod that goes from the actuator arm to the pedal.

The way to make them safer is to park them ! or practice riding and bailing off the back of the trike .. if you post a pick of the part or parts you need it will make it easyer to find in the parts pile, I'm sure I,ve got one but ,not sure what you need , sorry to hear about the leg , get healed up , and back out there .

the pegs are in front of the shifter just to make sure when u shift foot dont hit a stump, i took out trees with the pegs before there welded on and ant moving, and il post a picture of the [art in a minute
