Brynvolk 07-17-2002, 12:32 PM Hi !!!!!! I'm new to the forum and have a 2002 R1, I'm thinking of adding a G.P.Tech rear thumb brake, has anybody used one or have opinions on this product. Here in the U.K. very rarely used. :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup Swedie 07-17-2002, 12:50 PM On track it might be a good thing.. but for the street I believe it's a total waste of money. my 2 cents martinc 07-17-2002, 02:40 PM i"m not completely with you swedie... could be really usefull in case a wheelie go too far back,or if you need to keep that nitrous shot in control... i"m pretty sure you would find a use for new tricks too. (specially you swedie!) Swedie 07-17-2002, 02:46 PM oh.. yah.. you're right. It does allow for more tricky stunts on yer bike.. But I though about it in racing aspect. martinc 07-17-2002, 03:23 PM Originally posted by Swedie oh.. yah.. you're right. It does allow for more tricky stunts on yer bike..

Harris and AP....and those are very expensive. GPtech is the way to go.(fork mount) R1@150@alltimes 09-24-2002, 04:17 PM Originally posted by martinc nope.....and i dont think the $285 will fit...its for race use only where the fork mounted can be used for street with the pods. take a look at your left clipon...do you think there"s space enough to mount it? nope.... you got 2 other options available and known to me....

It seems as though I would need a thumb brake cylinder correct? Is that what that black thingy is next 2 it in this pic. Besides that, whst else do I need...PODS? Dunno what that is....and also can U still use ur rear brake lever along with the thumb brake with the GP tech system....and finally how much will it cost me, roughly? Thanks a bunch....I have been progressing with my wheelies but I DO NOT wanna loop my bike and I feel very uncomfortable covering the rear brake while i'm up on 1 wheel. Thanks again....:thumbup http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&attachmentid=3766 martinc 09-24-2002, 07:41 PM all is needed besides the fork-mounted kit is a fluid reservoir (Harris reservoirs available through ema-usa or gptech)and a custom line (gptech can provide you with the correct line-Galfer-for $85usd). yes,you retain the rear pedal...the kit comes with an adaptor. unfortunately the fork-mounted kit is very expensive...like $585usd. about the pods...i meant the switch pod on the clipon. there is just no space to add anything there. | ||
