right Here haha. Its a good starter setup but if you're looking for a more serious setup, a good one is a brembo radial, with either the HoHey Dual Caliper or Full throttle Adapter kit.

Re: Gp Tech...?

FreeTonyC tried it out, said he didnt like it, something about the clutch lever being too hard





in my opinion, that looks way too uncomfortable, plus I'm guessing that it costs a good bit too.

You can get the moose easy pull for the clutch. It cost about $275 shipped with the brake and clutch lever. Add $30 for the Moose Easy pull

Re: Gp Tech...?

wow yeah, not trying to take away from your business, but those things cost too much. People are better off going the normal route and just getting an ez pull lever, a radial master, and an adapter. Probably would cost around the same or maybe even cheaper too

Re: Gp Tech...?

One is made by the forging process and the other is machined out of a solid piece of Billet aluminum. Its all preference, but I've never heard of people complaining about the Forged levers. Most racers that I deal like the Billet better but I would just use the forged. works great.

Re: Gp Tech...?

What bore is the GP handbrake? not being able to adjust clutch position would annoy me.

Re: Gp Tech...?

I didnt hate the unit but with the stiff clutch springs I run it was little uncomfortable I did put a moose easy pull SYSTEM (not lever) on it and it was much better MUCH BETTER... I an just kinda not a huge fan of the east pull system I would much rather have the lever cause I have had the system fail on me......

Which one are you talking about? The brembo 16x18 with the folding lever is $270 shipped. The GP Tech Hand Brake does not offer a folding lever

the brembo 16x18, i was inquiring on how much it would cost to purchase a new lever if it broke, or would the folding lever keep it from breaking (to a point)?

The Brembo folding lever should definitely help in the event of a fall but I can't promise that haha. The regular lever is $48.00 plus shipping, shortly lever is $58.00 plsu shipping and the folding lever is $120.00 to replace.
