You don't take it out of gear?! Just let it hang?! That'll cost you a motor some day.

I put mine in 5th and let is compression brake. No issues with that that I know of. I did it because I dont have an electric water pump. So going from 9500rpm to idle, it would over heat before I got to the ticket window...

Luckily for us in Denver, Bandimere's shut down is uphill. So I just ride 5th and pull the e brake (so my slicks wouldnt touch the fenders, but Ill have a 3 piece this year). Once I got slowed down a bit, Id touch the pedal.
