Yeah, if not, cal SCHNITZ for the $89.95 2-line front kit!

Depending on how long your bike is, a stock length rear line will be useless anyway. (unless you really like the ghetto setup, that is)

My details consist of a $40 line from allthingschrome and the fact brake line. I'm not a picky person ab the brake line, especially our shutdown area is ab like ninjaboy's. You can just about coast to a stop, with a little brake. The front line can't be seen much so I will keep I like it is.

It all depends on the venue, Lee. I have stopped from 211 mph on a single brake, using two fingers, in well under a mile. I have stopped from approximately 170 mph on the same setup, in under 1000 feet.

Both of these examples were very easy on the rotor, with mild application. As with anything else, skill becomes a big factor with staying upright and stopping quickly.

How long is the shutdown at Lakeland?

Shane
Too damn short ...I really can't tell you but more cars and bikes run off that track than anywhere i have ever seen ... Plus the track has ski jumps in the shut down , you spend most of your time in the air ... Jesse bounced around so hard he broke his kickstand switch ....I'm sending Shane a cookie for having the best braking skills , sorry i can't send you one for your speed skills

If you went 211 i'd go 214 on your bike ... Do the math

Sorry Lee, I'd let you ride it...but I'm afraid you would be unable to stop with that single front rotor.

Your right and that is one reason i don't even want to try .. I did a lot of top end racing years ago and i never liked it and i was very hard to beat.. When i say it scarys me i'm not joking ..

I have an idea .....Leave it alone ... I kinda like having two brakes up front , never know when you might want to stop..
Thanks for the safety advice Lee. It might also help with weight were I need it.
