    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

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
