i never thought of having rear left brake on my bike be4
so bro...dare to do this kind of mods...its not bad tho..quite practical i would say..all the braking are done by hand..so our right foot can rest on the rear footrest ( for non racing footrest )..much confort when long distance travelling...if possible gear shifting also i want to be operated by hand...huhuhu..really resting our legs.. :p

anybody has done this mods....mind to share??? :?:

the left hand rear brake conversion is easy especially if your going to have rear disk break. but the gera shifting by hand... quite hard.
its just a bike, not a formula 1 race car.

Rudduan, don't be so rude, offer a more simple explanation about the mod being done.

135lcSS, the mod is taking the right foot rear wheel brake, and installing it to the left hand brake lever for rear brake. only for the semi auto model bike, not the Hand clutch model

I saw Gixxers and R1 stuntbikes on tv with a left rear-brake lever... The clutch is shorter than the brake lever... It is modified that way so that the rider can have bike control while popping highspeed wheelies while they're mounted on the gas tank and both feet is infront of the bike... Totally awesome sick bastards...

yea..u r right traxx...
but not a problem for whom who use to ride a scooter... :lol:

logically..the brake lever is not than hard to intall..but u have to cut a small portion on the head cover so that u can put the lever on..other than that is just a hose..thats it..
sound simple isnt it...but u'll never now untill u try it! :p :p

for the time being, i'll concentrate on performace first..after my bike can speed like bro kirana bike,then i'll figure out how to get better braking....hahaha :p

it depends on you, if you want to go with a cable tention, or if you want the disk brake, then you need to install a master cylinder near your current foot brake and have a hydralic lever with long hose to reach the master,

Moving rear brake to left handle bar means reducing work on right foot. But we still have left foot to work with the gear shifter.
That is why I think scooter is very suitable on this matter as we will have both legs get nothing to do with the bike.
We can even dance with the free legs hehehe. :) :)
