parking brake for 2nd gen

[54chevybelair]

Has anyone developed a parking brake for a 2nd gen. Now that I have a sidecar, I can't use my kickstand anymore.

B2dad gives them out everywhere he goes!

Cut a piece of bike innertube and make a wide rubber band and put it over your front brake lever and throttle

You dont have worry about forgetting it.

I use both methods when parking my trike. Especially if there's any sort of slope.

A friend of mine showed me his .75cent emergency brake. He took a piece of Velcro...the kind that will stick to itself when you fold it around itself. His wife sewed one end into a loop that easily slips over the throttle hand grip. He puts the loop on the handgrip, compresses the brake lever then runs the Velcro strip out around the brake lever and back onto the backside of the same strip.

To visualize the arrangement just take about a 12-14 inch strip of Velcro and stitch a loop on one end so that it looks sort of like a figure 6 or 9 except the tail of the numeral is about 10 to 12 inchs long. The loop that he has on his is large enough to slide it down over his brake reservoir and the tail wraps snuggly enough around to hold it in place for traveling. The same thing effect could be had with a hefty rubber strip as someone also mentioned.

thanks for the reply guys. I didn't even think about something so easy. I found a small bungee cord laying around that works just fine.

I like to be able to warm it up without having to sit on it and hold the brake.
