Where can I get a short rear brake cable to eliminate the parking brake? I don't want the rear brake cable going from the rear brake pedal to the handle bars.
Thanks

You guys who remove parking brakes kill me.
I see absolutely no reason to do this at all.
However, this one here is the only one I can see, and it looks like what everyone else doing this is using.

Remember to get your block of plate. Cleans the caliper up a lot... like $10-12 depending on what brand. My LSR plate was $12 and has a cool design. The $10 ones do just fine too. Rockymountainatv.com or Project Blaster sells the plate.
This one is cheaper. Same part. Some people call it a shorty cable. Longer ones are available for extended swingarms.

Don't worry about a block-off plate. That is only for 03+ hydros.
And Luni, my friend, there are two good reasons to do this. One, the 88-02 brakes are a big enough pain in the butt to adjust without worrying about a stupid parking brake (yes I still have mine but I hate it). And two, if you want to add cool, performance levers (like ASVs) then you would find yourself with a lot of cable and no place to put it. (kinda hanging out there like a long black weenie)

Like I said, if you had 03+ hydro rear brakes then you might want one. They use a separate manual ebrake cable from the left (clutch) lever to a lever on the rear caliper. After removing that cable it is kinda ugly. Several companies make a slick block-off plate that replaces the lever on the caliper.

I have a question. I have a 93 blaster. I am trying to replace the shorty rear brake cable. But no matter what I do the cable seems to be 1inch short after connecting to caliper then trying to connect to pedal. Is there a trick to adjust to get to work? I have a motion pro cable
