Default Split brake system

On the 400l quads has anyone put a split brake system on and how did it work? RCR no longer carries them but HPD has a kit - anyone using this kit? For my xplorer does anyone know if there is another polaris model that i could get the steel braided master cylinder line from? I currently have the front steel braided line off a mag. and they made a big difference. thanks for your help.

hello

you dont need a kit . you can buy the front brake lever off a polaris 6x6 for the right side and get the rest from an auto parts store. go to www.partsland.com and you can look up the part # for the lever .

Hunt the other thing you might think about is just getting a used setup off of a Honda or Yamaha since they mount on the right side. Get it with the line and it shouldnt take much to get it hooked up to the front side only.

Hunt,

You can order a master cylinder, with lever and all the extras for about $60 from www.servicehonda.com. It is the master cylinder off of a 400ex. That is cheaper than anywhere else, and I read in one of the rag mags that the 400ex master cylinder produced the most bang for the buck as far as performance goes. I have one on my xplorer. I might even have a pic of it installed. Since I have rear tines on my xplorer, I only have front brakes. It is convenient for me with kids to be able to gas and brake with my right hand and hold onto them with the other. I will email you the photo of the m/c just in case it isn't on my photos page.
