Re: how to use hb and clutch at the same time

I'm not an expert with it but I started learning clutch HB by doing *** drags using HB only for practicing. With your idle up its easy to slip the clutch till you get the feel of it then you get use to slipping out of a stall.

Good luck with it bro and be careful.

BTW.....
SHould be able to get your parts out this week finally.

Actually....no. I have two parts of the puzzle. I didn't need the whole shibang to do what I needed to do, and Thorpe still wasn't done w/ the last piece. The two pieces alone that I have blow Convertibars away by themselves.......can't imagine the full setup. You gettin the full setup?

Woops! DOuble post

Havok is pretty much getting the same setup as you Righteous 1.

If it weren't for having to manually machine these things I'd offer them for sale to the general public right now,

If yall like your setups wait till you see the clipon itself



Oh yeah yalls setups will work with the clipon once it's out too

Re: how to use hb and clutch at the same time

took me probly 2hrs to get the hang of it after started trying .i always rode with one finger on the HB and one on the Clutch tho i never did that 2finger on the clutch BS , than decided to just stop been a bitch and clutch it up and when time comes try to think about the clutch and just a bit practice i did it from sit downs clutch it up and easy just pull the clutch in and hold the HB than jump off and hold the bike than took me 3 trys and started doing jump to spreaders no problem, not that hard at all just got to always clutch it up right so you don't smack the bar too hard ,and as someone already said your set up has to be nice other wise you wont be able to reach both at the same time. gl just grow some ***** and don't be a bitch clutch it up lol

Re: how to use hb and clutch at the same time

I grew up playing guitar and I think that helped alot. at the start I would clutch upwith my pointer finger and grab the HB with pointer. then switch fingers untell I was smooth with my middle finger and started resting my pointer over the clutch. not using is just getting use to the finger position.. then the next day I went out with a video cam. I was gonna get a SS stall that day if it killed me. And after a few ball slams to tank I got it down. Havent looked back. Take it slow if ya gotta. Or pick up a guitar. lol

This is just dumb and lazy kelm. And one day you wont have a kill switch so thats just a bad habit. and does any one else really hit the kill switch?
