We have rear brakes?!! I'd be interested in how much it costs also. I've gotten so used to not using the rear brakes, when I ride my nephew's Predator, that first stop is always interesting.

 

LOL,,,I hear ya scooter. Same thing happened to me when I jumped on my buddy's DS.

 

No kidding.......I used to race my old sport(with one brake lever) and I got really used to it and was quite fast.......now with the pred it takes me a while longer......I still haven't quite mastered two brake levers, and I don't quite understand how to use them either(like in corners and such..........)

 

lol i did the same thing on a DS my buddy kept saying see how fast it will go and pushing me to floor it..
nothing bad happend but it was still really scary...

 

I think the 02's have the same dual rear brake caliper system as my 99 TB so if
you go to only one line you will lose some of your braking power. With the dual
rear brake caliper the front line applies pressure to the outside diameter of the
rear piston and the rear foot peddle applies pressure to the inside diameter
of the rear piston.

 

i seem to have pretty good pressure when i use the foot lever,the braking power would pretty much stay the same as it is now using only the foot lever right?

 

Right! Your braking power would stay the same.

 

i just finished converting the front brakes,all i did was blocked off the junction block and holy crap,my front brakes work awesome.they lock up so tight now,i love it..one thing though,when i lock my e-brake after a few minutes i loose pressure and the brakes let free.its always done it,im just wondering where its loosing the pressure from?i can hear the front left caliper slowly releasing the pressure but there isnt any fluid leaks?

 

oh yeah,i desided i want the most stopping power for the rear.im going to add a junction block in the back and run a line to each spot on the caliper,can i but custom brake lines?i need a line comming from the rear master cylinder to the block and then i need 2 lines that will go into the block and to the caliper,what to do?

 

well i was looking at it today and i think we have the same setup. you have one braided line going to a metal line in teh front which can be used and then the long braided line to the foot break. if u cut the long one in half then flair it with a break line flairing tool u will have one to go in to the junction and the other for the other side then with teh other small line u can put a fitting on that and put that into the junction box and then u have the 2 coming from the rear break and then 1 to teh foot and u will get all teh power u want[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
