Line lock question
Dunno if this is the right forum for this, but I understand that to use a line lock, you pump up the brakes, hold the pedal down while actuating the lock, then let off the brake and burn out. With this in mind, if you actuate the lock and then push the brake pedal, wouldn't that send all the brake pressure to the REAR brakes???
I ask, because I'm thinking that would make for some killer "e-brake" type maneuvers.

A line lock locks break line pressure. To use it you press the break (normal, no pump up) Turn the line lock on and it holds line pressure to the front lines until it is turned off. If you turn it on with the break petal not pushed in, you will have no front breaks until it is turned off.

Oh, I totally forgot about the ABS. Kinda new to having anti-lock brakes on anything considering the next newest thing I've ever owned is my '85 CJ7. I don't guess you could do any e-brake maneuvers after all.

Go to SJM (Sponsor--------->) and look at how they are set up. The ABS does have two lines for LF & RF but the LL uses a T-Fitting to lock both fronts at the same time. Press pedal, push LL button, letoff pedal while still holding button, peel out, release LL button, stage, pop wheelie! I got mine from SJM, steve will get you lined out on what you need, and pretty easy to install.

there are 2 lines comming out of the master Cylinder, a front & a rear, going into the ABS module. 2 going out, a front & a rear. Those split later on for left & right breaks.
4 lines in the ABS module are 2 in (front & rear) & 2 out (front & rear)
