FULLTHROTTLE INC. HANDBRAKE all the way with FI zero degree clips (clutch on top, HB on the bottom), and a MSR raptor lever and perch.... Golden.... Everybody complains about the Raptor breaking, and I've broke one in about 9 months, and that was just the perch.. I can live with that....

For aftermarket clipons there are really only 3 choices. FI 0's, Vortex's or flipped Vortex's. Its a matter of preference, of how you want your hands positioned. I like flipped clipons because I like them to point up instead of down.
For handbrakes get any radial master, they're all good. Same with the adaptor.
Everybody who has a gp tech swears by it, everybody who has a fullthrottle swears by it, everybody who has one welded in swears by it. What that means is that there is no wrong answer, just get one, bleeding it properly is more important than what equipment.

My bottom dollar is still on Bill @ FullThrottle not only is his stuff PIMPTASTIC but his customer service and pride in his product is nothing short of remarkable. Enough said, Bill is a Pimp.....
