Agreed, be even more bad *** if there was a way to run an internal brake line thru the bars.

I don't want that monstrosity hanging off the side of my bike, LaBriola makes a much cleaner looking tank shift in my opinion. Plus, I'd like both my hands on the bars when coming to/pulling away from a stop.

No less safe than normal. There is a small learning curve, but it doesn't take too long. The only time you have a little less control is coming to a stop if you don't shift to N first or taking off from a stop and turning left. Hills are a little tricky until you learn to use the front brake and the throttle together.
It may be possible to run a pair of internal throttles - one as a throttle the other on the clutch side and roll it forward to act as a brake - would need to think about how to make it work with the hydraulics - do able but not sure how easy it would be to use

You should check out the Rekluse clutches. I ran that in my custom with no clutch at all. You just rolled on the rhrottle and went. To stop it was just a matter of braking until the centrifigul clutch engaged. Dirtbike guys have been using them for a long time to keep their bikes from stalling. It would make that setup 100 times easier. The guys at Rekluse are really cool and will answer any questions you might have also.
