There is a thread in the Brake forum here. A lot of discussion on front brakes and I believe consensis was to not run front brakes, just a good rear set up.

You sign your threads with a TX, Are you in Texas, if so, where?

I have been thinking of a front brake system ...Not so much for stopping but for doing burnouts!:cool_dude:

[moto1fast]

Hello, Front brakes do have a use. You can use them for burnouts, Brake torqing, and to stop faster in a Striaght line. Just not to Fast!! Do not use them in a turn though or you may be licking asphalt from your lips!! OOUCH!!:dizzy:

Here is a link to a SET of front brakes on Ebay. Looks like all you would need is front hubs for a 17 mm spindle and a master cylinder

If that link does not work, it is item #280043480585.

Hope this helps someone....

Ive got a set on my dragstool that came off our shifter karts. I simply used a set of tony kart spindles and a MCP master cylinder hooked via a cable to a kx brake lever. I use it for my burnout and then I have a footbrake on the right side of the stool for the rears thats all MCP just like a motorcycle. Works good and makes a burnout very easy. Just stay off the fronts at high speeds LOL, OH and gravel is a real bastard with front brakes too :cussing:

I don't even like the thought of front wheel wheelies! We'll have to leave that to the young guy's! :cheers:

I too, am a mason. Door to vitrue 46 Maryland. We thought of taking the stool to the shrine, but they have too many wheeled vehicles already. Maybe next year.

[CritterBuddy]

It sometimes amazes me what Shriners will think up for parade vehicles. I'm working on a design now based on a barstool racer that will not only wheelie but also be able to drive on two wheels safely. Whenever I actually get to the building stage I will of course post pics.
