Full throttle setup hands down. I had a GP tech style adater on my bike, rode 3 bikes that had full throttle setup, then got on the phone and ordered one for me and tossed the adapter in the recycle bin.
www.fullthrottleinc.net
Worth every penny!!!! I was a skeptic at first because I could not understand why passing fluid through an adapter or through his master would make a difference, then I called Bill and he broke down the engineering knowledge on me about the rigidity of his setup and how the adapter can flex because it is held on with one bolt, and how he has the bore tephlon plated for better wear resistance and lubricity. But I felt the difference, now I am a believer, LOL. Hit him up!

Re: What's the best handbrake to buy?
Thanks man.. that site is kinda under construction but i found them on "uponone.com" and the back master cyc. is replaced by the one they give u by the looks of the picture. Does that it still allow for the stock rear foot break to be mounted to that? or do u run a second caliper... just a little unclear.. i have a left sided brembo break / clutch lever running mine with a t connector and it sucks *** i can't get enough break out of it to actually trust it.

if i could get the full throttles fast,, id have one,, m f4 had one and yea by far they are the best.. However the front brake you use really is what makes the difference.. Get a radial brake off a new gsxr or the 1000rr and your going to be really happy.

I agree 110%! The Fullthrottleinc.net handbrake is the best handbrake out there by far. No leaks and expanding like the adapter kits. It is a handbrake that you can rely on 100% of the time. when it comes to hydraulics and brake systems Bill knows what he is talking about. He has deffiantly ingeenered a handbrake masterpiece.

If you have a good hand master, the rest of the system hardly matters.

Re: What's the best handbrake to buy?
I agree with the master being the main factor. I rode a bike with the full throttle (not that it isn't a nice rear M/C or anything) with an older honda upper m/c, then mine with the GP adapter and a new gsxr master and mine was better. WAY BETTER FEEL.

If full throttle kits came with a radial brake it would be the best thing ever created, but it comes with some gay hydrolic clutch.. So switch that up for a 1000rr and you have the best setup money can buy.
