Drag Specialties Brake Pump Relocation Bracket

Drag Specialties Brake Pump Relocation Brackets

When a custom build changes the layout of the controls, the hydraulic components often have to move with it. A brake pump relocation bracket lets a rider reposition the master cylinder or brake pump away from its factory mounting point, so the plumbing, pedal geometry and surrounding hardware can work together. Drag Specialties brings decades of V-Twin aftermarket experience to this kind of fitment-focused part.

Why Drag Specialties in Relocation Hardware

Drag Specialties was founded in 1968 by Tom Rudd, a mechanic and drag racer who opened a small parts shop in Minneapolis. That background in performance and custom work shaped a catalog built around Harley-Davidson and custom V-Twin motorcycles. The brand is known for relocation-style hardware across its range, from ignition coil relocation brackets for Sportster models to saddlebag bracket relocation kits for Softail Heritage models and forward control relocation kits. A brake pump relocation bracket fits that same approach: solving the packaging problems that come up when a stock layout no longer suits the bike.

What a Relocation Bracket Does

The brake pump sits in a tight space near the footpeg and pedal linkage. Moving it can be necessary for several reasons:

• Clearing the pump after installing forward controls or a different footpeg position
• Making room for floorboards, saddlebag mounts or exhaust components
• Improving access to the reservoir for fluid checks and bleeding
• Keeping the pedal-to-pump pushrod alignment correct after other changes

Because the brake pump is a safety-critical component, the bracket has to hold it rigidly and in proper alignment. Any flex or misalignment can affect pedal feel and wear on seals.

What to Check Before You Buy

• Model and year fitment: Mounting points differ between Sportster, Dyna, Softail and Touring frames, so confirm the bracket matches your bike.
• Compatibility with your controls: Check that the bracket works with your current footpeg or forward control setup and any floorboard or saddlebag hardware.
• Hardware and finish: Confirm whether mounting hardware is included and whether the finish suits the rest of your bike.
• Brake line length: A relocated pump may need a different line length or routing, so plan for this before installation.

Installation Notes

After relocating a brake pump, bleed the system, confirm the pushrod has the correct free play, and check that the brake light switch still operates as it should. Test the brakes at low speed in a safe area before riding normally. If you are unsure about any step, have a qualified technician review the work.
