i know theres a couple of different routs to take.. building a dual caliper system or going with a full throttle kit. also heard 905 is now makeing them. whats the pros and cons of the different set ups? i ride an f4i

Street Mac get the full throttle setup, it's the best easiest setup out.

motoheaven fitting $50 + front master ebay $20 + line $30 cheapest and works my

Okay, THe dual caliper is the most reliable, straight forward approach hands down. But it costs more, and you have to find or make a dual caliper bracket, which can be expensive. Plus, it may have more drag on coasters, which may or may not matter to you. I just got my handbrake installed friday night, with the motoheaven/gp tech, whatever fitting, and a 929 front master cylinder. It works great. I hose clamped the fitting/line etc. to the master cylinder to help prevent any leaking, and it works great. Take the time to bleed it right, and theres no pumping it once before using it or any of that nonsense. You could also get another rear master, and chop the top of it, where the line bolts up, and have it welded onto the place where the overflow fluid goes, then you wont have to worry about leaks at all.

dual caliper sucks for the reasons given above

I have had both.. now I have the motohaven fitting.. dual caliper drags, keeps your rotor from cooling and you have to spend extra dough on pads.. I dont have to pump my brake to use it with the fitting either.. I dunno what you guys are doing but it works fine if you bleed it right. The full throttle setup is easiest.. and looks cooler..

i have dual calipers and love mine just because u can use both at the same time which i think helps. it cost me 50 bucks to weld the bracket and like 80 for the line i dunno i like the dual set up!

I call B.S. on the coaster drag issue...Warren James won the Stuntlife shootout longest coaster comp last year with dual caliper set-up.

I think that any welded together cast aluminum parts will eventually fail/crack, whatever...so dual caliper not as good in my opinion if you dont have a GSXR since that is the only bike that the one piece solid cnc machined aluminum dual caliper bracket is currently available for.

Now that I think about it, some welded dual caliper set ups may drag since they may not be perfectly straight..

Of the single caliper set-up, the full throttle is the best since it is totally sealed, but the Moto Heaven/GP Tech kits are the least expensive as mentioned above.

My opinion why dual caliper is better is that it is a completely seperate system, and yes that means 2 calipers and 2 sets of pads, but obviously they will last 2 times as long and if one system fails or overheats, you can switch. Also since you are switching back and forth, you lessen the abuse to each.

just my opinion or 2cents..

everybody has a point, haven't got a hand brake and still confused which way to go. fuggit I'll figure it out.

I agree..Only problem I had was bleeding and besides if you have problems bill is more than willing to help you out.. Good luck getting ahold of aaron or someone after hrs..**** bill called me at 2am his time to see how the progress was going..TOP NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! :YEAH

LivingCanvas

yeah, +1 on the customer service. Bill at Full Throttle is above and beyond with his customer service. Also, the setup is slick, and has good power(got circles tried mine and said it was almost too powerful ) and feel, i love mine! :YEAH

street mac

thanks for all the input. i think im gunna go with the fullthrottle set up.

jowalskiMO

yeah, if you have the cash, its the way to go IMO. Less prone to small leaks, and looks cool, that's really what matters. The dual caliper thing is nice because you can switch back and forthe, but I do that with my fitting style one. I think the drag varies depending on the setup, I.E. crooked welds.......

Merk

fo sure!!! I mean just look at D he put the Full Throttle setup on and now he can do hc circles.....just let that marinate

i had the full throttle setup for over a year and had nothing but problems, o rings blowing out and losing pressure just recently switched to dual caliper and works perfectly with no problems
