Hmmmm----
cheap as icecream...but effective?

why not use lever from bicycle brake... and connect bicycle brake line to foot brake... Costs like $10 max =)

anybody tried that?

JohnnyP

Great idea!..................for a bicycle or 50

SideWinder SR

but why not? Most of the clutches are on that kinda line... Except Ducatis =)

i mean.. what can go wrong?

crtchrktrcr

yeah, i really hope u mean fiddy's or bicycles.. and u're going to tie a line to the pedal? hmm, yeah sounds great, give it a go


be smart, run a perch from the bars, down to the swingarm, another line feed perch, then make a 90* bracket connected to the brake rod, and thread the line through that, and get a wire clamp, wa la

but there was discussion on one of croatian forums and this idea poped up...

SCOTT_Chychul

Wtf.. why does everyone cheap out on handbrakes !! For god sakes people when your up past balance cookin along down mainstreet you NEED your handbrake to work... If not your going to end up like buddy in that other post sittin 6 feet under.. Spend the money,,, How can you dump 1000 dollars on a helmet no problem but you wont spend 400 on a fullthrottle handbrake ??

SideWinder SR

helmet is sponsored..... bike is part sponsored...

and i have 2 calipers rearbrake...

it was just a tought damn... lol

SCOTT_Chychul

forgive me... there is snow on the ground... i can snap at a moments notice.. Soo if your getting your gear for free then all the more reason so spend the money on the best hb out there...

SideWinder SR

most expensive isnt always the best...

why to give more money if i can get same results witl less...
enen if i was donald trup why not to save $2 if i can =P

JohnnyP

Ive learned that going the cheap route your almost never save in the end........Do it right the first time and thats that...

I dont think youll get anywhere near the same amount of feel out of a cable setup that connects to a hydraulic setup

John LegionST

well first off it would never have the power that a hydralic line has, the cable will strecth and you will loose TONS of braking force. i can't imagine it even effectivly slowing the bike down. Nice thought, i even thought of that same thing when i first went to hook-up a HB, but then realized what others have said. A HB is sometimes all there is between you and a nasty getoff, so having something solid is important.

If you are looking for a friendly costing, tried and true, reliable and extremely effective HB setup, check my Sig for GP Tech info, if you have a front master of your own, you can buy EVERYthing else you need for a complete set-up for around $100. tell Geoff i sent you over and he'll give you a deal. I've been using them for 2 years now and i love it!

I hate to say it but I really wish that I would have gone with the Full Throttle setup. I hate it that my HB is held in place by lots of JB weld (temporary til it's welded) because the fitting was too small to hold the pressure of the fluid.
don't cheap out on the handbrake at all.

bruno_z

a i ti slušaš ideje kvazi stuntera...sve su to cajke, lol

i sad molim te stavi link na taj topic na motorima da razbistre glavu...

JohnnyP

Can you translate that? Ive lost my Croation reading skills over the years but I think your saying something about busting his head right?

PS where in Croatia are you from? Ive only been there once but I plan to return one day for a long trip with a bike........

bruno_z

I said something like: when you listen to "stunters" on our local forum, and to post a link to this thread on there just so they see what's wrong with this idea, cuz he got the idea from certain ppl...but Waynder is the man...

I'm from Vukovar, that's the eastest as it can be...acctually I look at Serbia when I get on my balcony...hahaha...

JohnnyP

Cool thats where my uncle lives when I went about a year after the war the side of his house facing serbia looked like swiss cheese because of all the bullet holes, and you couldnt go through serb boaders at night.

How you ride a sportbike there amazes me the roads there were terrible.......

bruno_z

no ****?!?! can't believe that your uncle lives here...He's lucky to find walls, lol, cuz most of the houses and buildings were destroyed completly...things are better now, roads are better, but still one big crap...pm when going here...

Regstunts

Darius had a cable looping through a nut that was welded onto his FI cage, that pulled down the foot lever. It worked like ****, but he used it to film the 11 o'clock high chairs in Servin' it up 2.

How's that for stunt history 101???

Now....who knows the name of the adult film Dan Jackson was in?

Squirrel_12

Actually E-dub was doing that **** years ago and the rest of outermost was rocking them too, tell manny came a long a figured out this homade gp tech adapter type thing.
now thats some stunt history
