The benefits of our Speedycom Thumb Brake have been experienced for many years by such riders and teams as -
TAS BMW ,Lee Johnson, Hawk Suzuki, Dan Cooper , FS3, Michael Rutter, Craig Neeve, Glen Irwin, to name a few.
The Thumb brake was designed & has been run on Buildbase British Superbikes & various road racing teams. Race proven by McAdoo racing at the Ulster Grand Prix whilst breaking the lap record at 133.284mph. We have now developed our thumb brake further. It is slimmer, angled lever to run parrallel with the clip on.
WHAT IT DOES:
Fits on the left forkleg (up to 54mm diameter). Allows you to use the rear brake with your thumb. This kit was specifically designed for racing and track days.
BENEFITS:
Easier control of the rear brake enabling you to control wheelies whilst cresting a rise in the track, or for those lightning quick race starts without fear of flipping the bike. More importantly it is excellent for positioning the bike mid-corner as you can control rear suspension compression, by dragging the rear brake, which causes the motorcycle to tighten its line allowing the power to be applied earlier, enabling a faster corner exit speed.
The latest evolution provides the user with the ability to alter the lever position to obtain that custom feel.
THE KIT INCLUDES:
Black anodised aluminium thum brake – 54mm standard fork diameter (shims are provided for smaller fork diameters for 53mm, 50mm, 48mm & 46mm; or it can be bored out to 55mm for BMW, see options)
Black anodised aluminium adjustable thumb brake lever
Stainless steel fixings with anti-vibration washers
Brembo 13mm bore master cylinder
We can also supply Brake line, reservoirs and pipe for your Thumb Brake.
In addition we can supply a HEL twin port rear master cylinder to allow the use of the Thumb rake and the OEM rear brake.
The new HEL Performance TWIN rear master cylinder is once again fully CNC machined from solid aluminium billet to give an additional product to our ever expanding range.
The rear master cylinder has been designed in a square format to sit and blend effortlessly behind the heel plate on all models. It features a 13mm bore size and slotted mounting holes to allow the unit to be located exactly where you need it. All metal internals are also machined in-house and fully assembled and tested prior to dispatch.
Includes a M10 x 1.00 and M12 x 1.00 banjo bolts and copper crush washers to allow you to connect both foot control and hand control to the rear caliper. This new master cylinder works by replacing the reservoir on the rear system and replacing with twin lines. The line (for example from the thumb brake to the rear master cylinder) is used by the other hose as its reservoir and vice versa. Only one braking method can be employed at once (thumb or foot) but they can both be used as required. All packed in the new HEL Performance boxes.
Finished in either Black or Hard Grey Anodised with the HEL ‘H’ individually hand painted.
Twin ports which can be plumbed to a thumb or finger brake AND rear caliper. One port is M10 x 1.00 and the other M12 x 1.00 (we include banjo bolts and copper crush washers).
- CNC Machined From 6082-T6 Billet
