Has anyone found an aftermarket E-brake for the RZR? I am so used to parking my fourwheeler anywhere. I keep getting stuck in Park parking my RZR on hills. It's driving me nuts. I'm thinking of building my own.
Why No Emergency Brake?

Don't park on hills or carry a chalk block for the rear tire.

always wondered the same thing. i dont want a parking brake, i just watch where i stop. i do want a true e-brake though. if you get a hole in a brake line or rip one off you are screwed. the reservoir doesnt look like a dual setup either. i looked at getting a caliper for the rear that would have a manual lever on it but couldnt find anything that would work.

Look at the Arctic Cat WildCat 1000s, I don't think they got E-brakes until this year.

Yeah but that's true with almost anything. I mean just think if they left the passenger seat out and the headlights how much they could save..
Where we ride most of the time you can't park on level ground. Even more so if the guy infront of you gets stuck or lays it over on his side.. Not like you can back down the mountain to park and run back up to him lol.. It also makes me nervous that they have a single master cylinder and no ebrake. One failure anywhere in the system and you have no brakes period.. Again depends on where you ride.. We ride in mountains. Not hills, Mountains with crosses on the sides of the trails in certain spots..

Atv has them good to use seems like a cheap fix. One guy spent 5 dollars making his.
Guess the next 1000 will be $21005 and will include the brakes..lol

Dude really compare what's in a car then a rzr and ask yourself why is this thing $20,000. They are so overpriced they can throw in a brake.

Most everyone around here has an aftermarket parking brake.. What most don't understand is this is not the same as a E brake like the parking brake in your truck.. If you have brake failure in any part of the system your are screwed.. A true parking brake uses a separate cable from the rest of the system. So if both master cylinders fail or in the case of a RZR if the one fails you have a fail safe. Just locking the brake pedal down does save the transmission in a RZR but it doesn't really fix the problem.. Pretty much is just a band aid. It does atleast let you get it out of park with out your buddy having to bump in the back of you or you having to hook up your winch to get it out of park though
