lots of people think it's considered cheating, but in my opinion there are no rules to break, no such thing as cheating. all it does it make it a different style but whatever works for you. i wouldn't mind one just so i could rock highchairs past the point

stunting rules...

if you are unsure whether or not a mod would be cheating... check craigjones.com if he has it on his bike it is automatically classified as cheating.

it's a rear brake lever that is hooked up to the bars so that you can use your thumb instead of using your foot to cover the brake... i was thinking about getting one hooked up to my Buell before I got rid of it... it may be in the works for the Honda once I get a few other things for it.

thumbrake

thumbrake = handbrake.......its not neccesarily operated by your thumb....in fact most guys that run em' just run a full extra caliper/master cyl. and brake lever (usually under or above their clutch).

cheating????? If you can do the trick it aint cheatin'

a thumb brake sits just under the left hand bar. racers use them to control the back end without shifting their feet on the pegs, that could upset the bike mid corner. try www.demon-tweeks.com
