You can't just run 2 lines into the caliper, because then when you hit the hand brake, it'll force the fluid into the foot brake master and make you lose pressure



You either gotta run a junction forcing INTO the rear master, or eliminate the rear master all together.





Personally I'd say Learn the foot brake first, then move onto hand brake. Too many riders with no skills relying on a hand brake as a crutch.. Learn foot brake first, learn engine brake, THEN when your advanced enough to NEED a hand brake get one!

I never said to hook up two lines. I was suggesting if he does not want the foot brake to unhook it at the caliper and hook in his hand brake line. The option stunt posted would be sweet though.

I guess I did not make myself very clear.

so what exactly do i need? and how much am i looking at spending... this also isnt a stunt bike but i figured you guys know the most about rear hand brakes

well if it isn't a stunt bike, and you hate the rear brake, you can just remove the rear brake all together, and get a longer line that runs from your handle bars to the rear caliper



Then just got any master cylinder of your choice (wahtever is cheap) lol
