Let's see some pictures ? Just retiring from stunriding and p/u up a KFX would like to add a handbrake has anyone already done this ?

doesnt it already have one? The front is a hand brake

A rear handbrake under your clutch lever for wheelies either you have to fabricate a dual caliper for the rear or buy the banjo fitting ? just wondering if anyone has already done it ?

you can use the e brake as a hand brake it just doesnt work all that good

That's what I was thinking but you also need the clutch so that wouldn't work right. I'm going to have a bracket fabricated and will post some pics

Did you get that done after ? Wouldn't mind seeing it.

well as of right now thats my next main thing to do, im thinking about just buying one for a stunt bike and then fabricating everything from there, i mean it would be amazing if i could find one to work, but ill be asking some of my stunt friends who have bikes if they can help me out with this, ill let everyone kno how it works.

Handbreaks make things less exciting. If you are doing a 60mph standup wheelie and you feel like you ae doing something where you could get hurt but you do it because it is fun and a challange. The handbreak takes it all away, you dont have to worry about anything except the cars in front of you. Vote NO! on handbreaks.

To each is his own though. You can do a few more select stunts with a handbreak that you couldnt do without one. In the long run though....thumbdown.

PS

I forgot I had this avatar on here. I havent looked at this site in a couple years. Guess it is fitting though for this thread.

some guy used a hot start lever with the e-brake over at atvriders.com

jdm, you would not need a handbrake on a stand-up...... you can still reach the foot brake on a stand-up.

I assumed we were talking about standing on the seat. If you took your foot off to hit the break then you wouldnt be doing a seat standing wheelie anymore. Either way. For me when I see someone riding a backwards highchair and they hit their hand break to prevent them going over it takes the excitment away. Just my opinion.

I am workin on getting a rear handbrake setup on my Z. My plan was to take a sportbike rear master and fab it up on the Z. then use the teardrop fitting. Think about the possibilities. . . . Idle high chairs. Yeah thats what made me wanna do this

dmimports79 Are you you saying that the only reason you don't like a front handbrake is because when you see people about to loose it, they set the front end down (LIKE YOU SHOULD) instead of smashing there body and quad against the asphalt? Are you f***ing serious? I might not know all that much about anything, but I sure as hell know the right way to wheelie is when you dont end-up crashing.... It's like saying, "helmets, there for Pussies, I way rather see someone crack their skull than their helmet, you know... for all the added excitment!" but... like everyone says, "thats just my opinion."

Hey bud...check when this post was last replied in...also, check when jdmimports79 was last online.

Don't you feel like a dumbass.
