I wasn't taking into consideration who was saying they were using the rear, and what it was being used for... so I agree with that.... but for someone who doesn't stunt, and just rides on the street, the rear is totally unnecessary. Don't want that rear brake locking up on the street!

 

racers use rear brake dont they?

If upgrading lines its always better to run a high-temp brake fluid too like Motul RBF600 or whatever its called.

 

Are you talking to me?

Stunters and track riders are fine doing stainless all the way around, but for street riding, you really only need the front. That will make a phenomenal difference.

 

yes they do. you can use the rear brake to settle the suspension a bit in corners, and to control power wheelies from corner exits without having to let out of the gas.
