50 stunt. By the time you are done crapping around with your own you will hate it and have to buy a 50 stunt one anyway.

DO IT.

Re: buy or fabricate a hand brake

The clamp is just a groundclamp from a hardware store. the brake arm i had a buddy weld on a few washers so i could have the stacked doubble adjustment setup. the cable is a custom motion pro cable. Those guys hooked me up because i let them use my jumper for there adds in minimoto magazine. but there is a honda clutch cable they make that is close to it that i knwo a few other guys run.

Re: buy or fabricate a hand brake

to tell you the truth there is no reason not to get the 50stunt kit. It really looks like a great setup.

the only reason i didnt is because 50stunt didnt exist when i made mine, and i also enjoy fabbing stuff up.
