Sssshh! I hear Frostbite approaching with the hose...
Anyhoo, does anyone have these on the back brake? I would think the front (or both) would make more sense so you have less chance of going butt over teakettle. I was really good at locking up the rear brake in MSF class! The coaches weren't too impressed with the skidmarks. :roll:

Ive seen them front and rear, and I havent had any occasion where ive locked up the front, just the rear (used to braking in a truck now, not used to the bike anymore), I think it is far more likely to lock up the back on these things... Thats where I would put it.

Pumpkin had one on the rear brake caliper on his American Lifan. PM him! Maybe we can talk him out of it! If we can, I'll throw it in the box.

Oh, you guys are funny! Sure, throw it in if you don't want it. If nothing else, I can use Bruce's line on the neighbor kids! Mini-NOS!
Thanks, guys!

That ABS unit works well on the front of mine.
You dont need it on the back since the tire will at worst lock up and just trail behind you unless your in a turn but controlling a locked rear wheel is very very easy. I started to test it just after getting the bike and at first I just applied enough front brake to activate it. After a few tests I just clamped down on the front brake lever about as hard as I could and it is amazing how well it worked.No front tire lockup or loss of control but just good useable braking. Of course that was on pavement I wouldnt clamp down on the front brake that hard on dirt. |

I finally got my front to lock up last night (Yes, I have the ABS module on the front). I was adjusting the clutch and wanted to make sure that it wouldn't slip. While rolling at a few mph, I opened the throttle and applied some front and rear brake. No slippage. Then I cracked the throttle to WOT and apparently I had too much front brake applied because it locked up and slid out from underneath. Luckily I didn't go down... I've done that in dirt before on a dirt bike, but never on the street. Holy crap does that front wheel come out from underneath quickly. Long story short, whatever those things are, I'll take them.
