spreaders and highchairs, i use engine brake, long seat standers i can reach my hand brake so i use it (can't reach it when i'm sitting on the tank) and if i'm on the pegs i of course use the rear brake, just hold hte throttle steady and feather the rear brake to keep wheelies for miles

Re: Engine, Rear or Hand Brake??

i love engine brake the sound of it when u rock the h/c and spreaders back to slow it down i think no idle combos all scrapes and regular wheelies should only be engine brake and rear brake but if ur doing idle trick combos that requires a handbrake then use it

BUT THEN AGAIN ITS ALL IN PREFERENCE

Re: Engine, Rear or Hand Brake??

whichever works best depending on what you're doin'. i know there are guys who have amazing foot control out there, but for guys like me, when you need a delicate touch and amount of control, the handbrake does it. fast ish pegged, footbrake. fast ish not pegged, engine.
