Thumb brake

[bananaman]

Been looking at these for a while, any contacts out there? Relatively cheaper price and known make was Accossato but unfortunately they don't do a leg fixing kit just handlebar and there's no room there... Now I have nothing to do with my left hand apart from hold on, my brain may well get through to it cos it sure doesn't to my right foot lol !

Tony at HM was showing me a bike with one fitted. I forget the make but I think it was fork mounted. Might be worth a call.

?240 just for the bracket ???? 'Kin L.......

Looking in to the Speedy one, are these plumbed straight to the rear caliper or piggy backed on the original master to keep abs?

 

[bananaman]

But, brembo m/c to suit is 45? Seems cheap....

 

[bananaman]

M/C bores seem to be be 10 or 13 mm . Wish I hadn't started to look now, nothing's simple lol !

I thought it was just me who couldn't use the rear brake easily.
I broke my shin when I was younger, and my foot is turned out and kind of acts as a brake anyway.
Ive seen thumb brakes previously and thought they were a brilliant idea.

Loupe, nothing wrong with my shin, ankle, foot leg etc they just don't connect with my brain lol ! Being left handed should also help ... Only time I use back brake is to clean the disc up lol

 

[baz]

Aah,left-handed-that's a good point,in that case I'd better get one too!
I believe Rossi is also left-handed(of course,all the best people are!).

Leftie here too, maybe Soof could have Leftie Forum Stickers made up for the Elite?
