Most people seem to like the brembo 16x18 radial MS and 80" brake line with the Ho Hey dual caliper bracket setup. but if you really want the other setu phere it is with the GP clutch cover option

Go the dual caliper route, you will not regret it, its worth the money. And I dont know much about that setup because I have never tried it out obviously but from what I have heared.
It sux.

Hai Bike Shop has them. I'v tried it and didn't think it was so bad but I have the Brembo Radial clutch and Brake on my Buell and definitely a different feel.

Im running the gptech HB set up with the clutch cap. Its not to bad. Only thing is that you dont get enough bite to bring you back down sometimes. Definitley going to something else!.
So in my opinion dont go with that garbage your seeing on ebay

Full Throttle Inc thread in adapter w/ an old school 03-04 636 front brake master... no flex or loss of pressure, one finger lock up, great control!!!
by far the best handbrake setup for that cheap!!!
check my sig for the website

Re: What Rear Hand Brake are You RUNNING?
I run a brembo 16x18 with a full trottle adapter. It works good. I'd like to try that new hohey dual but i am doing fine with what ive got.
Why does everyone want to lock up the brake with one finger? It doesnt need to be that strong. i think handbrakes are kinda cheatin anyways.

I think a lot of people would be amazed with how far you can go without having to use the handbrake
