Hello Macca. I don't know if this will help You. The eBaY ad said Single, DL & Peashooter 1926-30. They might show up on the AMF Vintage Motorcycle Library if some years are interchangeable. You'd have to view the Library Spare parts catalog's The pictures are from the Library, and the bottom pictures show a 1926 'B' Model. Good Luck.

G;day Jo Jo I sent you a personal reply

Good morning,
The pictures are difficult to tell, but the 1926 used a clevis on the brake actuating lever and the 1929 up brake rod when through the actuating lever like the one pictured on ebay.
Good luck,
Scooter

Here are pictures of my 1926 single rear brake.
Sorry about the focus of one of the shots and this is about the best I can do as I'm only just out of hospital and are house bound if I do as the Doctor instructed.
Hope he doesn;t read this DSCF4723.JPG DSCF4722.JPG DSCF4725.JPG DSCF4725.JPG

I do know that plenty of OHV singles have that, but I cant guarantee what year the expanding shoe was available. I have seen pictures of supposed 1926 singles with the expanding shoes but as far as I can find, the expanding shoe design arrived with the front brake in 1928.

Tommo, do you know if that was originally on your bike? I do not know what year the operator manual image JoJo357 attached is from but the bike is before 1928 and appears to have the brake bracket option for an expanding brake, leaving me to believe the expanding shoe was designed and used before 1928.

I wonder if that shoes is the same part number as used on the front brake? I was thinking the drums are slightly different diameter.

Good luck.

This bike is 1926 s.v. and is factory original and totally unrestored.
The bike according to the original owner, who Dad bought it from, has done less than 2000 miles totally,
NZ had a requirement that all motorcycles had to have two brakes so HD covered that requirement with the foot brake being the contracting band and the internal shoes were controlled by the handlebar mounted lever thus giving the bike two seperate brakes.
This bike is exactly as it left the factory in 1926
