Re: HandBrake Question? Clutch on top? or brake on top?

I have db on my bike and i run the hb closer to the triple and about two inches from the clutch that way it puts me in position to grab the lever more towards the end of the hb to give me more leverage. With the clutch on the inside it didnt seem as comfortable because the asv levers are much shorter than a stock lever and the hb lever.

I am running the HB on the outside away from the tripple, well actuall just changed it around last night to this setup. The brake doesn't have as much leverage this way but I can get my finger on the clutch and brake at the same time without having to cut the clutch down to like a 1 inch handle, I have an easy pull cut half way down now. I also have stock clip ons fliped and turned out. I think all my problems could be solved by switching to DB or F.I. and then allowing me a lil more room on the bars. Anyone know what Darius runs for clip ons. F.I. flipped and turned out a lil?

I could have swore he had a little tilt upwards on those bars... heck I am prolly wrong never seen it in person just in pics. I like a little angle up in my bars but didn't want to switch to DB just yet. I dunno I might just move over to the darkside.:YEAH

Yeah I think it was AZ from SFz that was killing the Highchair coaster this past weekend.. not sure one of them were doing it and had the HB on top... I have no idea how though. Doesn't even look comfortable for me to use on 2 wheels that way...
