Thanks for the join ! Went down little over a year ago and lost my left arm. Been toying with the idea of a foot clutch and police shift on my 1971 FLH. Was wondering if I could put an adjustable proportioning valve in and connect the front brakes and rear. That way I could keep my foot shift , move clutch lever to throttle side. WILL the rear master cylinder have enough fluid,pressure,etc to do this ? Anybody ever did this before ? Almost back together and looking for most operator friendly way to proceed. Thanks in advance.
anything is possible. a lot can be done with electric solenoids and if small compressor added, air slaves.
that is a sweet ride, reminds me of the 74fxe i had with added manual foot.
although it would take away from the beauty of the machine, have you considered a trike add-on?
i take my hat off to you, extremely brave to ride!!!!
as for as the brakes, yes they do have systems out with single masters but you will have to increase the size as the stock will not flow enough for two calipers.
There are various solutions out there, but I suggest you look for clubs for veterans and disabled riders, who should be able to help. One day HDF will wake up and provide a dedicated section to help members like you! In the meantime look up the website for 'UK NABD' who have all manner of clever solutions, which will give you some ideas, such as double hand lever for both clutch and brake on one hand.
