Well after watching the new OM clip and now siu3 i'm conviced that my project for this winter should be a handbrake (sorry cbo, i'm just not gangsta i guess). 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? Any reason why it wouldn't work? If this won't work give me some other ideas please. I'm not gonna run a dual caliper and i'm not gonna buy any kit, ebay parts only. Anyone know how E-dub runs his?

ive been looking into one just as a safety feature right now..

 

check these guys out they have a whole rear master cyclinder http://www.fullthrottleinc.net/

 

This is gonna be hard to explain if you havent used one.. but here it goes. A handbrake isnt gonna save you from looping out. If you clutch up a wheelie, then have to switch to the handy, all the while consenrating on BP, you'd be better off just thinking 'throttle' and not worrying bout the handy, cause you'll crash. +12 is the best safety mechanism out right now.. try a few HC scrapes, that bia will pull you right back down. No handy needed.

Maybe for some seat standers I can see its value, but even then... eh. Again, you'd have to use one to see what I'm talking about, those bitches arent gauranteed success.. its rear brake edumacation all over again.

 

its like that.

mike.. arent u supposed to be on your way to dallas already? wtf?

 

I leave in 5hrs, I'm at work right now..

Oh yeah, and that OM clip & SIUIII really do make you want to rock that **** to the fullest! Hotness! Merk goes off in the F4i!!

 

highchair scrapes? haha...im still waiting for my 905 bar to scrape normal wheelies..

 

highchair scrapes arent everything, ( I cant do them or anything so I shouldnt be talking) but having a handbrake opens a whole new level


MERK is the sickest I have seen w/o a hand brake!

Merk when you coming back to Houston????????????

 

Jbad - pretty sure hes got one.. he told me where to get mine.

Never met, but you going to Big D tomorrow?

 

The invincible hb...

 

Putting a HB on opens up a whole new book of tricks. some require them and some dont. It just doenst hurt to have one. You can use it if you want to and you dont have to if you dont want to but having it there is just better.

 

lack of $$ prevented me from the drive tonight
maybe sat after the build off and me huntin n the morning

Deer meats gotta be stacked in the freezer we only got til feb? I think
only at number 6 between me and a friend

I need to practice stoppies cause I only have a minty piece
is the Parking lot there big enough for a decent approach for 200 footers?
PM me or tell Pat to call

Im bummed Im not already there, the xr 80 is loaded and everything

 

I don't wanna spend that much on da brake though, and basically that looks like a zx7 clutch mc, one with a remote res.

 

Id also like to score myself a handbreak at some point in time. I think it'd be nice for a saftey percaution in tricks like HC and Spreaders, and seat standers or whatever else trick involves not being by the rear break. Which when it comes to wheelie tricks is quite a few of them. I can see how its not a "garenteed success" type of thing but i think it'd be nice to have the comfort of knowing that if your in that "oh ****" position you got your hand HB there to maybe save your ***.

 

Doubling up the lines with a longer banjo bolt won't work so hot because you'll have two reservoirs on one system, and inevitably you'll force fluid past each master cylinder and into the reservoir. You may have to look beyond ebay for your solution.

 

Who's this guy???


LOL Ernie didnt rock a handbrake for the LONGEST time..... i mean he had this bicycle lever that pulled a cable that pulled on the foot pedal to bring it down (which, as you all can imagine, hardly worked..... he could speed up, grab it as hard as he could, and it would seem like only engine braking was slowing him down....)

Anyways hes only been rocking a handbrake for the last 2 months? i think.... all his combos and stuff i dont think he uses it for..... he mastered engine braking and all that stuff first.....

Oh here is a link to Manny's (and E-Dubs is set up just like this too) Handbrake set up.....

? wasnt darius the one posting a thread about "30$ handbrake cheap setup"

 

I think that the one they have is bad ***. http://www.fullthrottleinc.net/ Darius runs that one.

Now if you want to go cheap like us.

Here you go https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?p=1189937 like JT posted!!!

Manny

Good Luck!!!! Have Fun !!! Now, Lets see some creative tricks!!!

 

Darius's original one was like e-dubs old one, use a cable to pull the brake lever down. Not real effective. I'm gonna go with ur style manny but make a few changes of my own.

 

handbrake nation

everyone on here, most saying they r gonna put one its, thats where i think its gay
edub, teach, emrock,darius and many others who rock hand brakes
dont even use the dam things on combos and ****
just on the tricks that they have too....if u cant do the basics, and rock ur throttle, and combos..dont put a f'n handbrake on ....
