Re: Dual caliper VS. Full Throttle hand brake setups?
That's bullshit about the adapter causing the HB to lose pressure. I don't know about the full throttle billet master but I have the adapter and a 16x18 and there is no difference between the handbrake when I press the foot brake or when I don't. This goes for a GPTech with VFR RC-51 900RR and radial 636 masters.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
give me the trick. ive used gp tech and now have the full throttle adaptor. tried bleeding the rear bleeder screw with finger over hole went through 2 res. of fluid and also tried using a air powered vacc. bleeder running a 929 front master for hand brake and still cant get it solid i have to pump mine about 3 times before it gets solid and even then it still doesnt grab real hard have to use 2 fingers at the end of the lever

bleed the system from the master down...pump the hb/hold and crack the hb banjo. then move to the foot-brake banjo. then bleed the rear caliper bleeder screw. make shure the hb res. and hose is above the master.
thats what i did...solid 1st pump every time

You have to bleed the rear brake master cylinder too with the foot brake... That's probably why you lose pressure inbetween the hb and foot brake.

Re: Dual caliper VS. Full Throttle hand brake setups?
yep, i started at the top, banjo bolt first, then i went to the adapter banjo bolt, then the top banjo on the rear master, then the rear brake banjo, then rear brake bleed screw. works like a charm every time.
if it takes multiple pumps that is definately not the adapters problem, that is air in the lines.
you can also take the rear master off and make sure everything is straight, turn it upside down and all around while you are bleeding and that will remove trapped air.
i mostly see trapped air at the front master banjo, then at the banjo going into the adapter. 2 places that love to catch a small air bubble and they won't come out unless you bleed the banjo. the normal rear bleed screw won't get those out.
