Re: hb on top??

i got mine on bottom...i didnt realize so many people had 'em on the top.

i look at it like this: what finger do you slip the clutch with when you AREN'T using the hb? the index is my guess, so why not use that for the clutch all the time...i find i have the most precision with my index on the clutch

Mines on top and I can use both in SS coasters, slipping it, and whenever else I want. You set up the levers just like everyone with theres on bottom. Why would that make a difference in using them both. Have you never seen the Streetfighters ride. They do revlimiter highair and SS coasters all day and they all run theres on top. Personally I love mine on top. I tried both ways. When it was on bottom it was like I had to learn to use it. On top I just used it, didnt have to learn to do it.

Re: hb on top??

it doesnt really matter how you run it. as long as your used to it and you dont let thAT clutch out. I have more clutch/HB cordination with hb on botton and index on the clutch like teach said and the FU finger on the HB.
I think most would run clutch on top though

Re: hb on top??

man i cant get mine setup to be comfy for 2 fingering. i want to try off peg coasters but i just dont have confidence in my setup. i got a moose perch and lever put on there today and it made stacking it alot better.... but its still all fucked because i have ALOT of play in my HB. mushy mushy.

ill go get a pic sometime tonight.

EDIT: o yeah HB on bottom

Cut your clutch lever right after the bend in the middle of it. and rotate the clutch downward until it hits the perch for your handbrake.
Also, use a stock F4i cable adjuster in your moose perch. it will allow you o get th two closer together.
