I'm not sure what's going on but after switching to rear disc on my Bee, the included parking brake cable on the driver's side rear. (35") doesn't reach the caliper after connecting to the support bracket in front of the tire. It looks like all the aftermarket dealers that sell the same kit (Pirate Jack, POL,etc) are all made in China. They all want to package a factory length cable and I suppose it might fit a drum brake setup BUT the complication I think, is since the caliper is mounted on the trailing side of the rotor in order to get the parking bracket, spring and bleeder screw in the right place....the cable is too short. The passenger side had enough length to work with to make it work. I just find it hard to believe that when the instructions tell you mount the caliper brackets and caliper as previously mentioned, that the cable turns out to be too short. Has anyone else run into this?
