I think that brake mod is a horrible idea, I just hope it doesn't cause you to wreck.
I applaud your creativity, but this is a motorcycle, not a lawnmower. If you mess up, the cost is VERY high.
For example:
You cannot easily function check your master cylinder in that position.
A leak from the master cylinder would be much harder to spot.
A rock kicked up from the highway has a much higher chance of hitting it in its new location.

Looks pretty fool proof to me. In the event it does fail(which is highly unlikely) he'd still have rear brakes. Properly tightened hardware would help curb the likeliness of leaks as well as just going over the bike routinely and it's tucked up BEHIND the fork so I'd say there's pretty much no way for a rock to hit it.

It was a total of 5400 miles round trip.. man... it is tough to ride a Sporty for so many miles / days, specially with such an awful rear stock suspension... but I am counting the days until I ride it again to Sturgis next year!!.

Man, that looks sweet. You definitely inspire me! I want to do the same for my bike but I don't know where to start and I'm broke too lol. Is that all very hard to do?
I'm curious to know how the internal throttle and clutch systems work. Do you simply turn forward and backward the left handle to use the clutch? In their website it says it's only for custom applications. I wonder if that would work with my 12" apes.
