I've got a few extra brake levers, and could always make something up if I needed a lot more mechanical advantage. Also, one thing to remember, 40mph will likely be 8,000rpm, and shutting the throttle at that rpm is liking putting out the chute.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524970260874550186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378352953691107089.post-42403550579110658482010-04-23T09:27:13.786-07:002010-04-23T09:27:13.786-07:00I wonder if the hand lever will offer enough lever...I wonder if the hand lever will offer enough leverage to get that thing to do much? Might need to use a longer lever arm at the drum (if you didn't already do that) to compensate for not being able to stomp on it.<br /><br />Especially if you really do get this thing over 50mph :)seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852843310791256281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378352953691107089.post-87428751308213474402010-04-21T21:47:12.122-07:002010-04-21T21:47:12.122-07:00I have found that the front brakes on most of my l...I have found that the front brakes on most of my little bikes don't really add a lot to the stopping power. I just figured a rear brake would be "ok" enough, and didn't want the hassle of a foot operated unit.<br /><br />And I'm not sure this tiny little 4" rear drum will be very successful at locking up anything!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524970260874550186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378352953691107089.post-64166428373284919772010-04-21T21:26:15.560-07:002010-04-21T21:26:15.560-07:00Nice!

Why no front brake? ...Nice! I dig the horny carb.<br /><br />Why no front brake? Do you not want to be able to stop? Or are you just wanting to do wicked brake slides when backing this beast into the corners...?seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852843310791256281noreply@blogger.com
