front brakes on foot pedal?

what would i need to setup my front brakes to my back pedal. i was in an accident a few months back and paralized my right arm from the shoulder to wrist, with little movement in my hand, enough to use the throttle but can't get the brake. any ideas?

Just off the top of my head, you could run a brake line from the rear master to the front brakes. Of coarse you'd eliminate the rear brake by doing that.

The rear master doesn't have enough volume to control a set of front brakes. You would have to adapt a front master to be controlled by your rear brake. Give full throttle inc a call and he might be able to set you up with something. How is your left hand and both legs? Might want to hook up the front brake on the left side with the clutch.

Good idea. Front brake lever on the same side as the clutch would be easy to do. Just like a hb.

There is some video on youtube of a guy on a motard that he set up when he had no use of his left arm. Might want to copy his set up backwards. I think he got rid of the clutch lever by putting on a recluse style clutch. It makes the bike shift like a fiddy. Don't think they make them for sportbikes though.
