How do I link the front and back brakes

[Duck]

I sold my 1500 Wing Trike and now looking at a 08 Goldwing with a Champion kit on it. I have a problem with my right leg and it will be hard for me to get my foot in place to apply the brake safely so I would like to link the front lever with the back brakes so when I apply the lever it will work the front wheel and the back wheels at the same time. I did a search but could not find much help. What is the best way to do this?

the front master cylinder does not have enough volume to handle front and rear brakes on a trike. A friend of mine had the front brake handle tied directly to the rear brakes since they are stronger on a trike. He then purchased a used master cylinder and mounted over by the clutch to control only the front brakes. Most of the time the rear brakes alone were sufficient to stop him safely.

There is a company that also makes a dual set up for the right hand. I can't think of them right now but I'm sure someone will chime it with the info.
Good luck.

Has anyone used this or did it a different way?

Wouldnt that depend on what he meant by "linked"?
The Standard Honda setup has mechanically Linked brakes.
when you start talking about Cylinders being big enough, volums, and such wouldn't you be referring to Hydraulically linked brakes where one Master cylinder pressurizes ALL of the calipers?
