Author Message   Teddagreek Posted on Monday, March 17, 2008 - 08:05 pm:        I saw these in a magazine.. Has anyone seen these or used them their bikes? Ok its not a "True Antilock", but the concept is interesting. Having locked my rear brake few times on when I was running stock pads.. Running stock pads this might be a good option for the rear brake.. http://www.lifesavertcb.com/home.html   Cycleaddict Posted on Monday, March 17, 2008 - 08:44 pm:        MCN did a test on those things, & called 'em crap !! it's just an air chamber that makes the brakes "feel" spongy and delivers less stopping power. (makes it harder to lock up the brakes)   Reepicheep Posted on Monday, March 17, 2008 - 09:10 pm:        Hey! That means my 85 KLR-250 has ABS!   Mtg Posted on Monday, March 17, 2008 - 11:11 pm:        WOW. The fact that people actually buy stuff like that is hilarious.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Monday, March 17, 2008 - 11:24 pm:        Couldn't you just not bleed the brakes and do the same thing for free?   Jos51700 Posted on Monday, March 17, 2008 - 11:44 pm:        I prefer to learn proper riding techniques, myself. I guess if you had a really touchy setup these could help, but I really can't see any Buell rear brakes needing one....   Old_man Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 01:36 am:        You are actually able to lock your rear brake?? I have never done it on mine. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.   Punkid8888 Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 06:48 am:        That is by far the worst Idea ever. I would rather see you remove your rear brake lever.   Xl1200r Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 09:45 am:        The $200 you buy those things for will get you most of the way paid for a halfway decent riding school that will teach you a lot more than how to not lock up your brakes. It sounds to me like there's just a spring-loaded expansion chamber in the thing that muffles the incoming brake fluid.   Slaughter Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 09:49 am:        Here's a sure way to not lock the rear brake during hard deceleration: disconnect it. Won't change overall braking performance in most situations on pavement. Much cheaper. Works consistently.   Eengler2 Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 10:21 am:        Old_Man, are you being sarcastic or can you really not lock up the rear? Eric   Old_man Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 02:10 pm:        I never did lock it up - I think it would take a terrific stomp to do it. It is rather anemic - but all you really need. I was being a bit sarcastic. - Sorry!   Knotrider Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 06:43 pm:        Those things are only one step better than putting a couple of tiny holes in your lines. Don't do it !   Starter Posted on Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - 12:47 am:        cough-shit-cough IMO. Is it legal to sell that sorta thing?
