Author Message   Hogs Posted on Tuesday, April 13, 2010 - 03:46 pm:        HEy Guys, Just wonder IF anyone has installed a hand brake lever for the rear brake a short unit on the Clutch side there abouts? Not sure what these are called etc etc.. but used in stunt bikes right? More control for front end lifts, instead of having to use ones foot for the rear brake to bring it back down IF it goes to high on ya??? Thanks for any info on them and perhaps where to buy etc etc..?   Mikef5000 Posted on Tuesday, April 13, 2010 - 03:47 pm:        LOL! There's a thread right now about foot front brakes, and now this one about hand rear brakes! Crazy stuff going on in the land of Badweb.   Deanbush Posted on Friday, April 16, 2010 - 12:15 pm:        Google "Motorcycle Thumb Brake" comes up different web sites and I seen one unit made for the street around $275.00   Fast1075 Posted on Friday, April 16, 2010 - 03:59 pm:        My dragbikes both had the front brake master cylinder in the regular position on the bar and the rear brake master cylinder in the position usually used by the clutch lever...NOBODY rode my bikes but me (and my team alternate rider)...imagine someone grabbing a giant handful of what they thought was clutch....at 157 mph...I ran a 4 pot Gimeca caliper on the rear and it could lock the tire up at speed with a big handful of lever.   Swordsman Posted on Friday, April 16, 2010 - 04:31 pm:        Fast1075, so, where the heck did you hide the clutch??? Where the foot brake should have been? ~SM   Brumbear Posted on Friday, April 16, 2010 - 05:24 pm:        air shift   Fast1075 Posted on Friday, April 16, 2010 - 09:39 pm:        No clutch lever....MTC Slider...a sort of centrifugal clutch...gas n go....sort of...you just make sure there is at least one kill switch within thumb reach without taking either hand off the bars...I ran two of them in series, plus the pull cord...cause if the throttle sticks and you can't get to the kill....you are goin' fer a ride....ran 'Lectron carbs (single cable)... That was a freakin' BALL...if it didn't cost so much to go fast...I would still be doing it....the bad thing is there is no moderation...the faster you go...you always get used to it, and you want more...going quicker than mid 8's gets expensive and time consuming.... I think I will stick with riding my Lightning...going around cornerz is fun too.
