Ok so I am just about finished putting my bike back together after getting a new frame. I just finished installing my stunt rear brake. I decided to run the GP tech fork mount thumb brake. It works pretty good. I also heard of full throttle hand brakes but I have not changed handle bars yet , have no room for extra mounts on the bars, and didnt want and extra lever on the clutch side. I heard most people are changing their clutch to an ASV shorty and runnin a full throttle hand brake or there alike. What you runnin?

 

ummm id get rid of that thumb brake....

 

Run the full throttle inc setup with a msr pro raptor stacked above it, one finger on each.

 

I have an shorty asv lever for sale!

 

stunt brake, i think you just created a new term.

 

thumb brakes suck donkey dick man, what are you thinking??

 

off/on/off/on, isn't that how a thumb brake works?

 

Huh! thumb breaks are for scotters or 10 speeds!

 

I think this thread just transported us all back to 2002...

 

Doesn't GP tech make a different type of brake that isn't a thumb brake?

 

lol hahahahahahah wow that is some funny sh-t. So why the haters on the thumb brake. Like I said I dont want two levers on one side.....plus I have no room to mount a second lever on the OEM bars. Plus doing wheelies, trying to control throttle, it just seems better that my left hand can be gripped on the bars tight and I just use the thumb to brake. Yeah maybe not for super advanced tricks it would be useless. I was thinking if I ever upgrade to freestyle handlebars that I would switch the thumbrake to my Streeet R6 and use a handlebar mount brake for the stunna machine...lol who knows though




Why no one like thumbrakes?

 

they dont work that good, like 1/2 the pressure of a full throttle inc,if that.

 

i think you should a get a real handbrake or just buy a quad so u can get thumb throttle too

 

brembo, with full throttle master. like ryan m. said use the msr for clutches

 

you could fit a hand brake on your oem bars, you can remove your choke, and hi low beam assembly and relocate it.

 

lol to funny man......you guys are brutal but its all to the G

 

good idea man ...maybe I will eventually go that route til I change handle bar setups.

 

Tie a string to the rear brake and have at it.

 

just idle up n do no handers all the time then ya dont need a hand break!

 

ya just move that light cluster for the high low beams and turn signals and put it there. That's what i do on my F4i with a moose e-z pull clutch. Though i still lick donkey ***** with a handbrake......those bitches are hard.
