I'm new to the forum and thought I'd explain why I'm here. I was on a two wheeler until December 1, 2023 when I had my right leg amputated above the knee. Short term I plan to convert my '08 HD Softail Custom to a trike. I've already picked up some tips from reading through the forum.

My immediate concern is what can I do for a rear brake? I heard there are front brake master cylinders that can adjust bias from front to back. Is that so? A link would be greatly appreciated. I have been riding for nearly 60 years. In the late 70's I had a Stires VW Trike which was a whole lot of fun but had to sell it when the military moved me. I am retired Army. I look forward to any information you guys and girls can share.
