As heavy as these beaST's are, I'm always concerned the bike may start to roll a little while stopped on a steep hill. Once momentum starts... well , you know the rest. :eek:
If this parking brake is properly adjusted and applied, there will be no front wheel rotation regardless of how steep the grade is.

Having written that, this is not something that is intended to replace proper parking techniques if the motorcycle is to be left unattended. Applying it and relying on it to prevent movement while leaving the motorcycle unattended would be fool hardy in my opinion. It should be used only while you are on the motorcycle, or at least with it.
