handbrakes

[matt_h63]

K so up here in canada right now there isn't alot of stunters and no one knows how to set up a hand brake so any pointers or tips and what are you using as a set up.

[crazy900RR]

fullthrottle setup. I still havent gotten a chance to use it that much.

i got the full throttle, and the Stunt Factory....i like the way the StuntFactory HB is made....no need for a fullthrottle mastercyl, just run your brake hose to your caliper..the longer banjo bolt has 2 spots for Brake hoses to hook up, and then ya bleeb the brakes, and you got a HB :smirk:

You talking about just runnning the HB line down to the Rear caliper???
I got a 04 gix 1000 with a second caliper.. but its a kawi 636 caliper and its not working to well... so in the mean time, till i get Gix bracket and caliper i was just going to run the HB line straight down the the original caliper, double banjo it and re bleed.. shoudl work right?

:blabla: Don't you think if it was that easy. someone would have figured that out along time ago???Running a second line with a longer banjo to the rear caliper, won't work!!!I'm pretty shure you'll just push the fluid out on end or the other!! :Hum:

[isuf4i12]

tried it, it wont work at all all it does is push fluid from one master cylinder to another, good luck though

[letsride]

ok ISUF ive been wondering this for a while. what the fuck is all over your bike??? or that one side anyways????

just bought it off Ebay, so i haven't used it, but thats how it's suppusto work

[scott3824]

^^ thats the same setup as the gp tech you remove the current rear resovoir and the banjo goes into the top of the master cylinder - then the resovoir on the HB feeds the entire system.
It does NOT work as good as the full throttle set up.

[louisvillerider]

oh....it was worth the $101 it cost me.....it should work good for my street bike...my lot bike has the Full Throttle, and it locks the rear up w/ 1 finger BARELY even pulling on it....hopefully the one i just bought works 1/2 way decent

if you bleed the shit out of it it will be ok - i bled mine for 2 hours, tried it and rode (moves air pockets around) and re bled it for another hour and its pretty solid - no fullthrottle but good - sometimes you have to move the handbrake master around or turn it upside down to move some air out.

Hand brakes? :jerkit:

[Lucid Dream]

Hand brakes? :jerkit:

+1 on that. Just my own opinion though, I'm not out cuttin circles and doin combos and shit, but it's deff. more fun to watch somebody rock them edge-of-BP tricks without a handbrake.

[louisvillerider]

why are you looking at their hands :rotfl: i watch them ride, not check out their equipment, and complain about things

[Lucid Dream]

:nono: Not really complaining about shit or hatin on anybody that rocks a handbrake, because I can't do half the shit with or without. Just sayin, don't really like the style, just for entertainment factor.
Why watch their hands? Why judge athletes on style in the Olympics? Albeit, no professional or critique, just an observation.

[louisvillerider]

and if you're watching their " riding style" you wouldn't notice a HB...i don't stunt PROFESIANALLY, but love HB's because they make so much more possible.....yeah if you're a pro it would be good for yout REP to be killing the same tricks others use HB's on w/out a HB yourself, but i say...who cares? becides the haterz :shhh:

[Schuler]

not tryin to hate, just sayin hats off to guys who use em for things you need em for like combo circles , but no hats off to guys who have to use them for simple shit like spreaders or combos while just going straight. ive met people who wouldnt even try a seat stander until they had a handbrake and thats lame. basically i think they are pretty lame for stuff other than circles. cuz when your goin in a straight line its nothing but safety equipment

so you can do SS or off the peg coasters without one?

I've got the typical stuntbike, cage, 12 bar,(freestyle ingenuity) 63t rear,(thrustcompany) dirt bars, fullthrottle handbrake, And I'm still garbage when it comes to stuntin, I can maybe hit the bar 2 out of 10 tries, I couldn't wheelie from mile marker to mile marker if I had to, but I don't get pissed when I drop my ride, always replace what's broken asap, most of all, I don't claim to be good. I do however claim to be better than everybody else I know around my town simply because they are afraid of rocks bending the fins on their radiator. It's all one big bike show here in the Killeen TX. I've made a name for myself simply because everyone thinks I'm crazy for trying to accomplish what most of you consider childs play.
