Anyone see the new whit brake www.whitsbrake.com in the new issue of Hot bike baggers? Web site doesn't have much info, will you still be able to use the whole floor board with out the brake coming on? Any one planning to be the genniea pig?

That's both a cool concept & a scary one all at the same time, lol.

That would be kinda scary if you were to be riding over an object in the road and you stood up slightly off the seat and in turn actuated the brake!

Not me! I move my foot around all the time on long trips anyway, sometimes propping on the front board edge. Would hate to be dragging my rear pads lightly without realizing it.

But the brake pedal placement was never an issue for me either so it might be just the thing for someone out there.

OUCH! Had not thought about that. Like the picture of Stro in his police training thread going over the 4X4!

would be interesting to see how it actually works. I don't think it would work for me, I put pressure on the foot boards all the time (pushing down to slide back in the seat, bracing for bumps/holes, etc.).

Might be ok for a show bike.
Dont think it would be safe in the real world.

That comes pretty close to being the worst design idea Ive ever seen.

Dangerous as Hell.

Kuryaken will probably pick it up soon!
