Single lever braking

[deem875]

Hello everyone.

Does anyone have a trike that they have adapted the brakes to a single lever or foot pedal??

Does anyone know if any bikes have that ability???

Thanks in advance

The Can-Am Spyder is a one brake system..... The newer Harleys have linked brakes....So you can get by using only the hand or foot for most of the braking....

Just curious why do you need/want only a one braking system...:Shrug:

Hi Jim, contact here for more info https://www.abilitymotorcycles.com/

What you are wanting to do can be done, it wont be cheap but parts are out there. 1 thing to keep in mind, if you go to a system that works both brakes off 1 master cylinder and a proportioning valve you give up 1 axle of braking in the case of a hydraulic leak .

I have done a number of them both expensive and on-the-cheap.

If you have a 2012 TriGlide it is easy to link the front to the foot pedal.

You will need to buy 2 brake lines and proper ends and a double banjo bolt for the foot mastercylinder.

You need to measure from the mastercylinders to the caliper and get the proper length lines.

The mastercylinders (hand or foot) do not have the capacity to handle more than 3 calipers.

You will take one line from the foot mastercylinder, run it up one side of the frame down tube to the triple tree and then down to the front caliper (right side preferred).

Take the other new brake line from the hand mastercylinder to the left front caliper.

You will remove the old brake line but don't throw it away (for future use).
