Schwartz, need your Handbrake knowledge

What's up man, need some info that i can trust, thought of you cause you always seem to know everything.

I've been running my HB setup for about a year now, i love it, i love HB tricks. Now all this talk about 13mm, 14mm, and 5/8 masters. I never bothered to look but now that i hear the 5/8 is weak i wanted to check, so i did andYep, i'm runnin a 5/8 (figures right?) so my question to you is, will a 14mm make a big difference? and what masters are 14mm?

I know GSXR (what im running) is 5/8

what should i look for on e-bay if i want to run 14mm?

Thanks bro!

Re: Schwartz, need your Handbrake knowledge

I"m new to this, what is the difference between the 5/8th and the 14mm? does the 14mm produce more brake pressure?

I don't know, i have nuthin to compare too, LOL

I know that i would like it to work a little better. It's good enough for single finger highway stuff and i rock one finger in the parkinglot, seatstaders on idle and stuff, but sometimes i do want more, sometimes it feels like the idle is going to overpower the brake unless i use two fingers.

Im lookin forward to finding a 14mm (thanks for telling me which bikes to look for) and trying that, hopefully it wil give me that little bit extra i want. I am going to look for a 13mm too, maybe i can do a review of all three this summe for you guys!

Thanks again!

better off looking for the Ducati Monster 900 clutch master...it has remote res. and is less prone to leaking.....

I heard he just reaches back and grabs the tire to stop it.
