Any other AKA or BKA riders? Whats your ride, and whats your mods. Me?? I'm left AK riding an '01 Ultra with an older Lehman kit, and Pingel shifter. Love doing winter weekend get-a-ways. Hoping to do a ride to Cabins WV for a long weekend. Just ordered some heated gloves to go with my heated jacket, cant wait until they come in so I can try them out.
 
Right A/K

Drunk driver destroyed my V-Max and put me into intensive care. Right leg amputated A/K. Didn't ride for a long time, but have been back on a Harley Freewheeler for about a year. Of course, my problem is the rear brake pedal (I can't use a prosthesis). The Freewheeler has a weird, linked brake system. Foot pedal applies rear brakes and two pistons of the six-piston front discs (1/3 of front brake). The local Harley shop tried several things that didn't work and found a system made in Texas call RIDE-ABLE. A small air compressor fits in the trunk and a pneumatic cylinder applies the foot pedal. Two buttons near the throttle control it. The black button is for when you need more than just the front brakes, and the red button is the OH! S#&*! button. Air pressure to each is adjustable. It works well but doesn't have the sensitivity of hand or foot operation. Would prefer a system I can operate with left foot. Any info?

Try this dual lever brake: http://freebirdcustommotorcycles.com/shopfreebird/disabled-handicapped-riders-c-270/
 
RAK and Left Symes (partial foot amp). I ride a 99 Suzuki Intruder Lehman trike. So far I have a Kliktronic shifter. Found a good buy in Craigslist for around $500. Guy never used it. I hope to get a rear brake system setup soon. A local shop mechanic has done a few and is looking for parts to get it done. This is my first ride so it's been a fun adventure!
