Greetings Topnotch did you manage to get any of the front brake setups done for the Bonanza MX? Still looking to set up a front brake on my machine? Keep on building them great bike!

Beautiful Hodaka Bonanza's Topnotch, cannot believe how many you had !!!! Im having enough trouble completing just one.They look straight off the showroom floor. Looking forward to you posting some photos of the front and Rear foot brake Bonanza MX?

Bonanza 1510 Rear brake Hi Topnotch thanks for the info, would really like to see some detail on the rear foot brake install to see if i can install one on my bike? Any chance you could post a photo ? Do you have any spares for one? Thanks:thumbsup:

Anyone have any photos or info on the installation of the foot rear brake pedal on the 1510MX ? In an old 70's minibike book there is some B&W photos of the Minicross with a front brake set up and a pedal operated rear brake? Front brake set up looks straight forward enough to set up in the...

Fantastic Resto, great detail photos .
