While putting together the Black Ice, one small detail I notice while doing the conversion.   The e brake cable guide profile is slightly different between the SR5 and GTS.  The profile on top is SR5 and the one below is GTS.  The SR5 looks to be slightly shorter than the other.  The handles themselves were of equal length using my eye and sitting them side by side.  It seems that SR5 handle would provide a better mechanical advantage to locking up the rear brakes.  The down side would be the extra travel for the brake handle.  Though I never heard of such conversions, I'll probably give this a try since I've both on the work bench.  If I don’t like it I can revert back to the GTS setup.  As to when is anybody’s guess.
