I am probably going to start with stagerred therefore the footbrake is within reach....If I can save a few bucks by getting it later than that's cool... What do you all ride with? Furthermore I ride a R6 any suggestions for suppliers?

As for the R6 get a good sub cage for it, impaktech makes nice ones for a fair price. Clean air box mod is a must on the R6 as well.

Ya I know ...there is a pic of a guy holding his in his hands in the R6 thread!!
My buddy welds so he's going to weld a better one based on the stock one.. and I'll probably go for a round bar..

im 50 50 with it , i never really got the fb down , i used to rock all my streets ss without even touching the brake because i had enuff engine brake (years ago) , then i started to use the hb , kinda wish i woulda started with fb tho because i suck at it now and rely on my hb perrty much for everything , so i guess its whatever you feel is best for you , if you think fb is hard to reach , or in my case i thought it was hard to get my mind to make my foot work it , but then again that was back when i sucked ass crack lol ( i didnt think so then tho ) haha , idk in the begining i thought hb was easier for me - but now that you made me think about it im gona go murder my fb for a while

HB is super easy to learn thus the reason to waite! Put the time into FB so you will end up being more well rounded.
