Mine is next to the Bubba Scrub button and looks just like my backflip switch.

I hope you put them on opposite sides of the bars! You wouldn't want to accidentally do a backflip while tryin to pull the holeshot!

I will just remove the front brake and make a backflip lever to be safe. Besides what good motocross rider uses the brakes?

It compresses the forks, to keep the front end down on launch..

We run the holeshot devices on all my bikes, and my dad makes me use it on the cement starts, I cant really tell much difference though.

I don't worry about bad starts....I just use my afterburner button to catch up....although it violates the noise ordinance within city limits
