ps: this is mainly for one caliper HB's

Set idle at 1000 do a seat stander. We'll assume you have seat standers, throttle control, and general brake control on lock already.
Slow it down just like you're gonna do merk steps, but instead of jumping off the back, grab some brake.
Do that like 5-10 times to get a feel for how hard to squeeze the brake.
Now turn your idle up to 1200 and do it another 5 times
Now turn it up to 1400 and do it another 5 times
Keep increasing it like that and you'll be catching the idle in a matter of minutes.

ever since i learnd to use the rear brake i have alot of trouble not covering it... also the switch over from clutching it up to covering the HB is gonna be hard for me with the ASV and carbon fiber nuckle coverd gloves... not much room.

I'm just learnin it too and it is very awkward in that im so used to the clutch... so sometimes I grab brake when i'm tryin to grab clutch. Seems like it's one of those things thats gonna just take time to get used to.

I think you all should start off leaning seat standers without a HB, to me learing it with it would be like trying to 12 without leaning balance point wheelies first. Basically you have no throttle control and you'll use too much HB because of that.....
Thats how i learned I started rocking them without one getting used to the engine break, people at the spot started asking if I have a HB cause I was getting real slow and high. I got a Hb after I let one get away from me and it only took a day or 2 to adapt to it....
Before HB
After with HB alowed me to get the legs nice and straight becaue you dont need to use them as much to control height, but the height is almost the same....
