Re: handbreak
I have just about everything on lock on a 50, except unicycles and switch back.. Yet it still took me a long while before I REALLY started using a hand brake..
Whatever you do, don't EVER think stunting a 50 can compair to a sport bike.. I thought that way.. And now that I'm learning circles and stuff, I realize the sport bike is WORLDS apart..
Oh ya, stay away from the SHINDY master cylinder! Do yourself a favor, and buy a USED radial master from like a R1, or 1000rr.. Should only run you anywhere from $60-$120..
The shindy cost $40 for new levers.. One hard drop and you nearly paid off a better radial master!

Re: handbreak
Brake control on a 50, and on a sport bike, are WORLDS apart.

i was just never used to hitting the break on the bike just kind let off the gas but if you let off the gas on the 50 its still going back so you have to learn the break

Re: handbreak
your not gonna have any throttle control commin from the 50 either
just get the hohey bracket and when he comes out with the 4 piston get that
to much stopping power for beginners can be really bad
but learn the hard way if you want, not my skin you will be scraping off and not my bike you will be ******* up

Re: handbreak
it's kind of a loaded question, cause it really comes down to personal preference.
i would say, at your current skill level, just try a gixxer or cbr radial master (you can find em on e-bay all day for right around $90)and an adapter, with just your current single caliper. it's prob your cheapest and best bet for now.
