Re: Whos got their 2 rear calipers linked together for their handbrake

hey when it comes to hand brakes i dont see any thing wrong with running two 4 pistons , i would probably try it if i had a dual caliper set up

I think I might try the big rotor kit and link the calipers together

Especially when you break your arms and have really weak gripping power in your hands and fingers like I do.Sometimes I feel a pop in my wrist when I squeeze the HB to hard,so more power=less pain for me

my hands and wrists are all fucked up from racing motocross for years so a better hand brake sounds good to me , heres my set up , it's a bigger rotor from a zx 11 and an 03 600rr caliper

Re: Whos got their 2 rear calipers linked together for their handbrake

i got the fti dual quad linked on the HB and solo on the footbrake. Take my word for it its better. I never get a sore middle finger anymore, and the feel/play is sooo much better. Made my stalls and stuff way better. I seem to get less fade too. IDK. try it before you knock it, it rocks...
