Title: left handed rear brake
Post by: mach1 on May 30, 2008, 09:59:11 PM
So Im looking for a brake lever and res/ that fits on the clutch side of the bike. I have seen something like this on superbikes they use it so they can control their rear brakes while standing on the tail. does anyone know where I can find these

It's called reading.  Dumbass here wanted to link his rear brakes so he could have handlebar control over the rear for stunting.  Many people pointed out the GP and stunter-oriented hand brake kits and he basically ignored us, now he's asking about it again.  Same old shaZam!, different f%$king words.

Mach1: handbrake kits are available through dozens of online venues and a simple google search would have produced results.  Much like GP style shifting, unless you are very competitive there is really no practical use.

The clutch and the hand rear brake are both on the left side. The levers are cut to allow 1 or 2 finger operation of both the brake & clutch while on the tank.
