Looking for a place to buy a handbrake and since Fullthrottle's shop is down atm, I've found another place.

Doesn't look too bad for the money. Comes to about £170 when you select USP express, which I thought was pretty good.

Anyone used these guys before? Oh and how much tax would customs whack on when it arrives over here?

Much obliged. :YEAH

 

The problem with those kits I think is the lever they use the cylinder is built into it so makes fitting a clutch over it a pain in the **** as far as I know!

I just bought my kit from HAI bike shop in orlando, www.haibikeshop.com.. I got the line kit with the brake adaptor and I bought a 05 636 master cylinder, much better quality and should fit the clutch over it easier.

It cost me $178 from HAI including shipping but I also bought a moose easy pull clutch lever.. thats £95.76 delivered (but might have some customs charges dont know yet) and £45 for the master cylinder.

So a decent HB kit + an easy pull clutch lever all for less than £150 :YEAH

 

Did you get the cyliner from Hai too? I can't see any. And I'm not sure if a GSXR one (closest thing to an SV on their stocklist) will fit on an SV.

EDIT: Just found this http://www.haibikeshop.com/store/ind...aster+cylinder

Got this shizzle so far http://www.haibikeshop.com/store/ind...=shopping_cart

 

That's the handbrake kit I ordered (but for my bike not that exact one)

They don't sell the master no you need to buy one, try ebay. 01/02 Yamaha R6 one is meant to be pretty good for cheap.. but if you ahve more money get a Brembro 16mm or something from a bike with radial brakes like a 05 onwards R1/R6 or an 05 onwards 636 etc.

 

i spent a lot more from full throttle.........

and i got a 90 quid customs import duty sting too...

i really hate the authorities now... its just like robin hood and the evil sheriff

these people are paid by us to work for us check the term civil servant... but they serve themselves.... lazy they are thats all plain lazy and greedy

 

Customs can be a pain.. When I bought my cage I got charged £80 customs. But when I ordered my 12 bar it arrived in just 1 week and had no charges whatsoever... god knows whether or not I will get charged or not for the HB and who knows how much it'll be, but it better not be much

 

yeah i bust my cage so its a new one on the way mate... from Freestyle ingenuity im sure those geeks are gonna slap the duty on even though i have asked for it to be sent as a gift!

just got to get a steering damper now and i can get all acro

 

cool :YEAH

 

Ugh. Nothing's easy anymore.

Bloody UK, no stunt shops anywhere.

 

i sorted out my handbrake for a tottal of 50 quid all in with a brembo 16 master....

 

tell all m8 where did you sorce the bits you used and what did you use :YEAH

 

sparks did you email them about postage cause if you do the calculator thingy its well expensive

 

yes i emailed them

 

cheers bro

 

Sparks, sorry to seem a bit thich here, but you're saying the only prob with the Spyder kit is that you can't fit an aftermarket clutch lever into it?

If that's the case I might just chop Mine down.

Cheers for the info buddy.

 

Noo.. what I mean is... look at the master cylinder you get with the kit.. it has a reservoir for the brake fluid built onto it, that gets in the way big time of your clutch lever mount so the clutch will sit far from your fingers.. or you have to twist the lever round lots, as far as I know anyway.. you need a master cylinder with a remote reservoir then its out of the way and you cut but the clutch lever up to iti neatly and it all fits loads better..

 

Right sorry to drag this up again, but now I realise I've been being stupid.

I've found an adapter from ebay, so all I need to buy is the front master and brake line, so can anyone recommend a decent master? I've been looking at the 636 one like Sparks said, but there don't seem to be many on fleabay atm.

Cheers peeps. (Yeah, I said peeps)

 

think but im no expert the 1 you want is the first choice front master cyclinder
you flip it qver run a bit longer hose so the fluid is above the lever and go from there :YEAH

 

Cheers Mungo, I'll have to get a brake line ordered from Hai then.

Even though the system is going on a gixer, I'd need the Kawasaki brake line because of the cylinder right? (Hai have a different option for Kawasaki than Suz/Yam/Hon)

 

ok, here is the run down......
get a radial front master ie 04 r1 or 04 gsxr600 or 1000rr then get yourself a hb adaptor from hai, i think they are $40 and buy your brakeline fram a bikeshop, any good bikeshop will stock make-a-line kits so you can do it to mesure and u dont need to pay stupid postage

hope this helps
