I have one, and I love it, and its lots of fun, but I still think it ruined the sport. Its not stunting anymore, its just doing tricks

I have their mounting bracket, purchased a used caliper off e-bay, got a steel breaded line. All I need is a second master cylinder and a perch and I'm good to go.

Re: handbrakes and spreaders
it's not killing the sport... but it's all in HOW you use it...
A lot of guys abuse the HB and make their riding look boring, and never bother to learn throttle control (which is fine with me, its just a part of their game they are lacking) let one of these young bucks come to me and tell me they can outstunt me (cause they have a HB and every trick they do uses it) I'll simply say, longest one-hand HC/SS/etc wins... and watch him chop-chop-chop his way to losing or wrecking!!! LOL
I'm not going to give away all the secrets, but like i said, it's all in how you use it... and anyone that has seen me (or someone that knows how to use a HB the right way ie Teach-Rick payne-etc) at a show can vouch for that... you can use a HB and still keep the fans excited and on the edge of their seat!!!
