Anyone ever add parking brakes on a KW W900?

    My 99 W900 came from the factory with only 1 set of parking brakes (vs 2) and I was debating
    on adding a second set.
    In theory, it shouldnt be too involved..a few maxi-cans and some air lines, possibly a valve.

    If anyone did this or has some information about it, I would be interested.
    Ideally any "Gotcha's" or issues I could run into.

    Thanks,

    -JD

    I've done a couple like that. Most recently a 2003 W900L. Not hard, just add the maxi-cans and plumb them to the same valve that runs the maxi's you already have. There should be a plug in the valve just for that.
