I have a 1983 Tornado with rear disc brakes. After changing the brake pads
for some reason the parking brake no longer works. Any idea why?

Thanks, Jim

Once when I had mine done, the guys broke the cable. I think its a three
part cable. Did ya check that out?

it is a 3 part cable one piece in the front, from the lever to the middle
then it splits into 2 more cables , one going to each wheel.
