I was in jackson MI.
When 2 pistons on my front caliper ceased up.
It cuased alot of damage.
I took off the rotor and caliper, Damn that looks cool.
Well I talked to ALhall this week about modding the hand lever to still work the rear brake.
While still using the foot brake.
I have bought all the parts needed.
No looking back.
I will post more soon.

Why not just go with a 360 brake?

i have run choppers with no front brake.....i didnt like it. this is my opinion only. looks cool with nothing hangin off the lowers.
most of your braking power comes from the front.....
please be carefull......

Thanks for the concern guys.
I will be carefull. 
I have been using the rear brakes for a few months now.
I'm ok with the stopping power.
Demon in my club allways is blown away by how well I do stop.
360 still is an option when I have a couple bucks tucked away, LOL

the one time, when I tweaked my rotor and had no breaks I rode around the entire weekend downshifting and dragging my boots!! brand new on thurs, slicks on sun!! only got scary once when some asshole half jumped out in front of me then went back to his own lane!

Looks clean Sling!!!
I like my front brake to much to let it go. I brake pretty hard so I would miss it.
