I've heard bad things about the junction valve. I decided to go with a dual caliper setup. Already have the master (05' GSXR 1K), extra caliper and two brackets...now all i need is the line and im gettin the bracket welded up in a couple weeks...

Junction VALVE? LOL, EDIT: ok I see warpedtoys calls it a junction valve.. I don't know why, there is no valve in it, the valveis in the MC, it's just an adapter... it works mint. the only problems were with the first home made versions. The manufactured adapters are money. The only way a dual caliper setup would be worth is if you had a 4 or 6 piston front brake caliper attached to your handbrake master, like guru's ho hey bracket setup. Two single piston rear brake calipers is a lot more work and money for practically no benefit other than redundancy.

buy the best, cause when your rocking a hi-chair, and your home-brewed handbrake fails, that would be pretty sucky

i dunno, the FT set up is basically a machined version of the adapter combo. but i will say it allows better rear brake feel unlike the adapter. just make sure you have a good radial mc and u'll be golden.

just ordered the junction valve from HAI. Talked to Tice who rides for them, he said the only guys on their team that are rockin the FT setup are Colton, Dryden, and Teach. Everyone else is still runnin the valve. Good enough for them I'm sure it'll be good enough for me.
