Re: Darius and OM conviced me to get a handbrake

not trying to bash one bit...but i recomend learning as much as you possible can stock, and then modifying just to better yourself at that.... i see tons of people with huge sprockets, and bright shiny clean 12 bars.... the equipment doesnt make you a better stunter... its the rider.... learn what you can stock and it just makes it that much easier when you do upgrade.... just my opinion though....

Re: Darius and OM conviced me to get a handbrake

Does anyone use right hand HB system?

" I was thinking of just getting a longer bolt for my current m.c and using two banjo bolts on top of one another, then using a clucth mc on the clip on. Anyone done this?"

You could use a double banjo bolt on the front Brake. Actually it usually has a double already if two lines run out of it to ea front caliper. If not like the GSXR's have a single and it splits at the botton....so You could put one there & all is going to do is lock the front tire up while You use the rear brake as well. So if you run the line from the rear to the front it will lock it on a whellie but if you are riding normal & use the front brakes it will also apply pressure to the rear. Dont know how much pressure while you are on two wheels but on a wheelie it dont really matter. It iis kind of funny to use the rear brake on the right hand side & use the gas. You would think its like a rolling burnout, but it is more technical & Difficult. Specially if you want to try: "ie" High Chair coasters. But good luck anyway!!!
It is fun to adventure. All I could say is try It. YOU CAN DO IT!!! :YEAH

I put sprockets on and it helped me alot. I was able to keep my 1st gears slower which made me feel safer while learning and gave me more time going back and forth across the parking lot. My buddy put a 12bar on before he could scrape but when he knew he was close took about a week to get it scraped up. I want a handbrake, i think i'll learn slow stuff alot faster, thats what i'm gonna do. Shoot your thoughts anyway u want but i'm gonna do it anyhow.

I was thinking to use two separate master cylinders on the right. Not one

my two pennies: handbrakes can kill your style if used incorrectly. however, they are definately a must if you want to keep up with the top riders who are pushing the sport.

that being said, if you are using a handbrake, all your other stuff better be tight or you are wasting your time...HB makes everythign slow.

you need: combos, endos, acro's, technical trix, and general exciting riding to be the best.

be careful how you use your HB cuz it can zap the appearance of exciting riding in a heartbeat!!

now go get one: www.fullthrottleinc.net don't mess around with anything else!
