below is a quote from Steve on post 13 from the for sale section,

I hadn't noticed that, but did check it out after you mentioned it.

Take another look at the front wheel. Only one disk on it.

Now look over the front wheel, where the brake line splitter is. There is a loop of what appears to be brake hose, going toward the back of the bike.

Apparently he has removed one front disk so the front master cylinder is still only pushing two calipers.

Curious how the balance is from front to rear, but at least he has brakes on both wheels.

Honda Pacificas had single lever braking.
I would imagine there would need to be some sort of proportioning block like in cars.

Sorry if the above is disjointed...

can the brakes be rigged like that? or is that a dumb idea???

Even the best linked brakes suck.

A home made system would be ridiculous.


I can think of much more fun ways to die.

It is not dumb the was another thread today speaking of a drag pipe necessitating the same sort of combined braking.

There is a block that the front brake lines split from on bikes with dual disc front brakes. I doubt a rear brake needs a whol lot of squeezing power.

you can get brake bias valves that fit in line, you can control the amount of pressure between the front and rear brakes
