Rear Hand Brake on CBR900

I just got a rear hand brake set up for my 95 cbr900.. I got it hooked up, but when I use it, the brake doesn't lock up all the way.. Any problems I need to look out for when using one of these? Or anything I need to check again to make sure it's working right? i just figured that the handbrake would work better than the footbrake, not worse. do i need to buy the kit with the dual calipers? any help is appreciated.

Re: Rear Hand Brake on CBR900

The 900rr rear brake alone isn't all that great to begin with, like you said to lock it up took a lot of presure and when you ad the hand brake forget about it even worse. I would match up another rear master cylinder from another bike 929,954 ,f4i mabey you can line up a kawi. Just get it to fit then do your setup and watch the difference.
