Brake Shoe Linings

Bonded brake shoe linings have only been standard on motorcycles since the late 1960s. On Harley-Davidson motorcycles, brake linings were riveted to the shoes until the end of 1972. Bonding can only be done by a specialized company. Riveting, however, can be performed at home by any skilled mechanic with the proper tools, for example from The Cyclery.

A hammer and a punch are simply not enough to fix a new lining with nicely formed rivets. The shanks will bend and crack which is unsafe and plain ugly. This tool set will do the job right and once finshed the rivets will be tight and look as if installed by the guys in the factory back in the old days.
