Re: Handbrake On Top!!! Anybody???

your middle finger is generally accepted as your strongest finger. it only makes sense to me to have your middle finger on the HB but rock what works for ya.

Kelly Joe runs his **** on top... or at least he used to. I did too, but I moved it to the bottom and now I'm in love with off the peg coasters

Re: Handbrake On Top!!! Anybody???

Rememebr when i came to bufallo and i had my **** up top cus of that shitty master cylider, I got it rearanged and its so much more comfortable now, the lever is at the right angle instead of having to bend my wrist, it took a day of getting used to but now i an slip the clutch and stuff like that, Ive been working on SS circles the last few days and covering the clutch has deff been a good thing and saved me a few times.

SCOTT_Chychul has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Re: Handbrake On Top!!! Anybody???

When in a panic and you need to grab the clutch fast i think it would be pretty shity to miss it because its on the bottom. Seems like danger to me. That and when the wheelie is up i find that its harder to pull on the top lever beacuse of the angle, but having the brake below keeps the same angle as the clutch was when you started the wheelie. I dono.. why change a good thing ?

Sit Down Steve runs his handbrake on top. He is doing spreader coasters and clutching out of circles. He just runs a short handbrake and long clutch.
