What do I need to do a rear handbrake setup on my 919?

Re: Is my bike Stuntable?

Ok I checked today and I am at 83mph around 5k and 6k is 100ish. Does this help determine what sprockets I can run? I just want to be able to do 100 at 8k and I feel it will be street worthy

Re: Is my bike Stuntable?

ur bike only tops out at about 150... the 919 is one of my favorite bikes though.... stay with it... i havent seen anyone killin circles on one yet... u shouldnt need to change the gearing that much that bike is a real torque monster... in my opinion i'd stay stock until u get idle down... u dont need gears to do slow wheelies

I haven't ever really topped it out like rev limit in 6th the wind is killer at much over 140mph I was used to the gsf1200 with all of its power cause I had the engine done to a 1216cc kit and just almost all the dale walker engine parts and it was geared for top end speed cause I wanted to hit 200mph. I can't quite get the 919 to do a slow wheelie getting it up I usually get some speed and just I am not comfortable without a cage or 12bar right now cause I have to get all that custom done and it's just not on yet so 500lbs going slow and me only being 130lbs I am not looking forward to the dropping or looping it. So why was the bike one of your fav's I just love streetfighter hence going from buell to bandit to the hornet. It is my street monster right now give me awhile and I'll be attempting circles when I get it set up right but I might pick up a f4i to learn on cause they go for 750 to 2k for a decent one around here.

the first time i ever saw someone killin highway **** was my boy keough... he was rockin a 919 at the time... i rode it and fell in love with it... the seating position the power.... the bike was awesome... i even crashed it on the highway runnin from the cops once haha... and still got away.... its a good bike but like u said u gotta have the cage and bar custom made... thats the only down fall with that bike... other than that it really is my all time favorite bike... with the exception of my 05 gixxer 750

Wow I haven't crashed this one yet but it has been down once before me, and the whole cop thing I know what you mean I have done that a good bit on this bike it is a great corner carver and the torque is insane where as you might rev up to 8 or 9 on a normal bike I rev from 4 to 6 and it wants to loop
