The stock parking brake on the 03+ blaster operates on the rear caliper and uses a mechanism attached to the clutch lever. If you're desperate for one then you could hunt about for this system but would involve converting to hydro rear brakes too.
But as Slydog said, you don't really need it unless you're putting it on the road like I am (or are just desperate for one), I'm unsure of the US laws compared to ours in the UK but we need a mechanical parking brake to pass the annual UK MOT test.

Will take pictures tonight hopefully, got the 400 EX shock on last night, 15/32 drill bit worked perfect, I had a heck of a time getting the KOR bushings in but all is good. We live on a farm and have a lot of fence crossings so being able to leave the bike running, hop off and open the gate, pull through, hop back off, etc. it gets kind of old stopping and starting the motor all the time. What do I care, this is my sons quad! I put around on a Rubicon most of the time.You have been busy.12mm drill bit should be the one you need for shock. Man you need to post some pictures of this

That sounds like a pain in the a$$ to convert, guess he will have to be diligent and make sure it's in gear, we have alot of hills around here, I can already see where this is heading..
Looks good but is the axle in backwards.sprocket. needs to be on drivers side(stator side) along with axle nut
I have no idea what happened but somehow the picture is perfectly reversed, this is not what it actually looks like!
I was wondering if it was a mirror shot. Good thing. Thing is looking sweet. It will be the cleanest blaster around. Need another kid
My build is on hold until I can get 1 a arm dust cap. My new a arms require the use of the existing dust caps and some how I’ve lost one of them, anyone have one laying around? Thanks
Yeah I would have been back on wheels this weekend , running Alba arms
Still waiting on the front fenders and streamline brake lines for the front hydraulic brakes. Put it all back together fully expecting that there would issues getting it running, started second kick. Five minutes of carb adjustment and running great! I spent an hour with my son practicing starting, taking off in first, switching to second, back to first and stopping. Let him do this in the yard on flat ground as only have rear brakes and they are barely adequate as far as I’m concerned. What a great time and a satisfying feeling getting running correctly. I have to replace head light and tail light bulbs, pretty sure I can get headlight bulb at auto zone but probably have to get tail light bulb at the dealer, there wasn’t a bulb in there so don’t have a clue to what I need. I learned that refinishing plastic is a biotch and don’t expect perfect like new appearance but they came out about 80% like new, good enough for the farm! Both front fenders were broke so I ordered new ones. Thanks for everyone’s help, wouldn’t have been able to do this with out this site!
