Whats your brake system?

Hey, im a road rider who is getting into stunting and have been reading and hearing all types of different this and that about all types of stunt products.
Was just wondering what type of hand brake system is everybody running? As in what are you using as a rear hand brake lever and why? Ive read lots of post about full throttel vs dual caliper and for now, on my street bike i plan on putting on a super duty adaptor. Just dont know what lever i should use before i go out and buy a brembo or magura lever.
Im going to fit a full throttel adaptor to my rear brake master cylinder and most probably use either an R1 or 1000rr Front brake lever and do the flip flop.
What levers have people found to be good that have just come off modern sports bikes?
Thanks

I'm running Baer Brakes on mine, drilled and slotted rotors of course. **** is . No need for a lever, **** is so high tech and ahead of it's time it knows when my foot is nowhere near the footbrake and it works itself

What's real fucked up is that I know a kid that did this and claimed that it worked rather well
