Restore precise rear-brake feel on your Thunderbird with the genuine Royal Enfield Rear Brake Pedal with Rubber – Kit (PN 888197). The official parts assignment lists “REAR BRAKE PEDAL WITH RUBBER KIT TB500”, and multiple trusted dealers map 888197 across the Thunderbird family, including Thunderbird 350/500, the Thunderbird X 350/500, and export-market Rumbler 500. Being OEM, the pedal forging, pivot bore, toe-peg rubber and offset match factory geometry—so the pedal clears the exhaust/footrest brackets and returns crisply without side-play.
Use this kit to replace bent or corroded pedals after a tip-over, to fix torn toe-rubber, or to refresh a spongy/bruised feel at the lever. It’s a direct bolt-on to the OE brake rod/master cylinder clevis on the confirmed models below.

FAQs
1) Does this include the toe rubber?
Yes—the kit is supplied as pedal with rubber installed.
2) Will it fit Classic or Electra models?
Not verified. Sources confirm Thunderbird family (incl. X/Rumbler) only.
3) Is any adjustment needed after install?
Set free play at the master-cylinder pushrod and verify brake-light switch actuation per the service manual.
4) BS3 vs BS4—any difference?
Dealers map 888197 across BS3 and BS4 Thunderbirds. Always confirm by VIN.
5) My old lever is bent—can I straighten it?
We don’t recommend it; heat/straightening weakens the forging. Replace with this OE lever.
