Is there anybody that will share what they have done for their hand brake/thumb brake set-up with use of single caliper.

 

Supposedly you can get a special banjo bolt from GPTech or Speigler that allow you to run the hand or thumb brake with the stock caliper.

 

you can run one by runing a line out of the M.C wher the res atatchs .then use a lever that has a remot res on it

 

My boy Curt(JackassRR) tried that and the fitting you have to use flexes too much and you can't get a good lever pressure. I think Tim or one of the other guys from POB had that setup and busted his *** at Stuntwars because of not enough pressure.

 

2 things

1 ..the lever that they used was for a dirt bike and uses min spirits not brake fluid witch is 10 times more harsh on the O-rings in it

2.on the GSXRs ther is only one screw holding the res on and ther is 2 one the honda /nessen ones . thats wher a lot of the flex comes from .



GOOD LUCK.............

 

Thanks for the input...I have been trying to figure this one out for awhile.

 

Andy, call Ronnie. Him and Tony have a hand brake already built for his Gixxer from what he told me Saturday. He told me a little about it; sounds sweet

 

yea just waitin for a part but it should be nice when its done.

 

actually, Ronnie made me start thinking about it. I talked to him about it on saturday night too, so I think I'm gonna try what everyone else is saying. GPTech has the fitting, so I'm gonna order a couple tomorrow. If anyone else is interested, I'll post up after I try it.

 

neither tim or david use a handbrake

 

can someone please PM me info on how this hand brake using the gptech fitting it made? im clueless.

 

If I were wanting info like that i would probably go to their website, read about it, then ask them for more details if i need it....seems to be better than asking people that don't build the things.

 

Im sure they'll be real eager to give away their secrets.
