Default Integrated brake system

I have a friend who has lost his right leg from just about the knee down. He gave up his two wheeler but has kept his Tri Glide. Uses his front brake more than his rear, but I think sometimes it would be nice to have them both. I use my rear more than the front, so I would have a problem without the ability to "safely" apply the rear. I have heard about integrated systems where both are applied from one place, but I can't find much with a google search. Anyone have any info, or know where I can find more about where to get this, cost etc. Any info would be better than nothing. I will be spring soon, I hope. Thanks

I know what you are talking about and looked for a little. Exile bikes does it with the rear brake integrated to activate front and rear. But you need it the other way. It has got to be out there, probably all about finding the correct proportioning valve.

But in my search I found this to be another interesting option to allow full individual use

a thumb brake
