I have bought one of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2612562287...84.m1497.l2649 My thoughts are I will try to run the clutch off of this just for occasional/emergency use and run a single line from the nissin M/C to the rear brake. Ditching the rear pedal! Any thoughts and advice more than welcome as I haven't really got a clue as to what i'm doing! Just as an after thought don't you require the clutch lever to set free play gain? Oh and one more thing can anyone see a problem running a 5 foot brake line?

My plan is to buy a secondhand Hayes and go from there (into the workshop where my lathe is, that is). No, I can see no reason why that should be a problem. It may be difficult to bleed if it swings up and down several times, but when properly bled, 5 feet should be no problem.

-I had the super long line from the handlebar to the rear caliper. It worked just fine.
-I do prefer the dual action setup as I find that I only use the LHRB when things get technical or for long gnarly downhill sections. -I not buying the over pressure issue causing loss of the sight glass mentioned above. Whether the pressure is from the brake peddle in the stock setup, or via a lever at the handlebar: the pressure required to operate the caliper is pushing on the sight glass and will be equal given an equal pressure at the caliper. -I found the new LHRB (agreed its pricy) as good as the old one or converted clutch MC. Its design does take up less space on the bar. And its a little lighter.

Hence the need for the o-ring. This o-ring effectively seals off the reservoir at all times, so the actual brake fluid volume available to the rear M/C will be the fluid in the line to the handlebar, and the handlebar reservoir. Doing it this way, you can pressurize the rear master's piston/cylinder volume (using the handlebar M/C) without having a fluid leakage into the reservoir.

OK, I did a little experiment the other day while out riding. I wanted to see just how much I still use my clutch even with the rekluse. I moved my clutch lever in on the bars so I couldn't reach it. Well it really screwed with me. I couldn't get used to not using it. I was surprised at how much I still use it. In and out of corners and climbing. I would really have to ride more without it to get use to not using it.

Funny, I did same test this summer on a 3 day riding trip and found the opposite. I never use my clutch with the perfectly set up Z-start Pro. I rode 50+ miles each day with each set up and after, took off my clutch lever and removed the rear brake foot pedal, never to be installed again!
The LHRB is absolutely the best mod I've ever done and I've done them all. It has revolutionized my riding and it is so nice for tight woods. I save so much energy not having to use my right foot to modulate the rear brake. Plus, you can feel the rear brake so much easier using the LHRB which is a huge bonus as you never have to lock up the rear brake if you dont want. |

On a professional side note since your a FF you might appreciate this? Our new fire Chief races MX and does the fire/police race at Glenn Helen every year. Although he does ride a CRF450, I told him I wouldn't hold it against him. |
