Does anyone have or know who might have a brake handle for an LT80 that a kid can reach?

For the LT-80, I'm NOT too sure.

As a suggestion, you may want to look at brake handles that are on many 50cc minis. I've heard many 50cc brake handles are designed for smaller hands. Many 90cc brake handles are sized for young adults hands.

If there are any mini-quad dealers in your area, you may want to visit their showrooms and do some measuring. If the handlebar shaft, cable connections and wiring (if applicable) work, then it might be worth purchasing a non-LT-80 brake handle assembly for your LT-80.

Hope this helps...

We run an lem cayman and we went to the mountain bike lever. It is even easier to pull and a little longer so it can come back farther.

Any specific mountain bike lever or just your regular "every day run of the mill type"?

I did it the easy way, I loaded the quad in the truck and went to my local bike shop and went in and looked at levers, when they asked if they could help i asked if i could see which one would fit they said sure it took a couple out to my truck and matched up the bar fit and the cable fit. Was even happier when i bought two for 15 dollars[always nie to have a spare] when i got home i realized the lever was just like the one on my sons schwinn mountain bike. A guy we race with told me about it and i thought he was cracked but after we replaced it my son loved it and if hes happy and can STOP I was real happy. Hope I was some help.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
