King Kobra brakes
Hey Helya(or anyone else with KKR experience) Can I use the MK3 brake system with the stock plastic uprights? Hub carriers (Part#10032) Any pearls of wisdom in regards to these brakes?

RE: King Kobra brakes
i'm sure your refering to k.p designs mark 3 hydros? kcr is just the distributor for k.p designs they don't make them.
you can install no probs with stock plastic uprights. they are the best hydros out, i have a set on the way

RE: King Kobra brakes
What's the price range for these?? Has anyone had any problems bashing with them? I'm worred about tearing or breaking something and then waiting for parts to replace them.

RE: King Kobra brakes
Thanks for the input on KPD. I 've had their website as a favorite for some time and look at it a few times a week. I wish I knew about it before I bought my cable brakes. Maybe I'lll sell them off and go from there.

People who want to buy dependable hydros for a reasonable price need to know, hydros all work the same, consist of the same parts.... to me $300 is still too high for hydros to your door.....

RE: King Kobra brakes
(chowderhead lowers his head in shame) No but I did get this really cool bag of hardware and instructions about as vague as George dubbaya when asked "when will the war be over?" . I have since used the instructions as Charmin to no avail even in this application I find them worthless.
Please advise

RE: King Kobra brakes
No the picture above is one of my hydros.................. this is KP
For the selling price of $200-350 it should be a requirement for any vendor to ship their brand of hydro brakes prebled, prefit according to customers request, with no addtional charges........... takes about 5-10 mins to do and saves the buyer the headache.
Thats just good customer service.. going that little extra mile
Thats like buying MT tires and rims for $250.00...... they still want ext*****$ for mounting and glueing $30 extra[:@]
