Does anyone run the Fast 50s rear hand brake kit. If so what do you think of it i will be running on different motocross track was just wondering if this is something others are using or if its worth the money?? I have a stock crf 50 and always find myself grabbing the front brake and not even thinking of using the foot brake. Any help or comments?

Buy a 50stunt if your going to get one. I have had both and I wasnt a fan of the fast50s.

is it an easy install??

They're both real easy to install. If you get the Fast50's one a good upgrade is a longer brake arm like one off a Ruckus. They work great for all types of riding.

When i install it can i just hoke it up to all the stock components i have a stock swingarm with all the stock braking system. Or is there something else i must buy in order for it to work!! Thanks to all for your help

Bolts right up to a stock singarm. Comes complete.

The other two guys said to get a 50 stunt kit which do u prefer 50 stunt or Fast 50s and if i get the 50 stunt should i get the advanced kit or the cheaper one!!

anymore help or suggestions?

Depends if you like the Fast50's billet brake perch assembly or not. I personally dont really like it. If money isnt an issue get the 50Stunt advanced kit, it has the longer (and billet) brake arm. If you want to save a few bucks get the regular $99 kit and get the brake arm from a Honda Ruckus scooter for a little more leverage.

why bother? your braking should be 80% in the front anyway...

have any of you used the chinese fast trails one? Im guessing the only difference in something this simple is the lever?

i have a question for those who use the bar mounted rear brake, did you come from bmx or motocross before minis, i cant run a rear brake on the fiddy cos i tend to land of jumps with my foot on the brake, but if i was to run bar mounted rear brake i feel i would think its a clutch as i came from motocross and always had one finger on the clutch leaver
