Default Is this possible?

I want to run internal throttle and clutch. Here is an example of what kit I plan on going with:

http://www.exilecycles.com/index.php?section=37

I have their exhaust and am more than happy with it.

Here's my question. Can I set up some sort of proportioning valve off of the rear master cylinder so that I can run both front and rear brake (probably 70/30 front) off of just the right foot pedal? This way, my handlebars will be spotless and I can still have a front brake!

I've seen the proportioning valve done on choppers. Call exile (or check the website), I'm pretty sure they sell them, I think i've seen their bikes with them.

Yes you can do it, but don't forget that if you run into a brake problem with that setup, you will lose all your braking ability.

I didn't see it on exile's site and I've ordered from them before. Any ideas where to get it?

I'd lean more towards a 60/40 split to reduce front lock up....rear lock up is tolerable usually but if you lock the front end up...well...your pretty much fvcked. Ya kno?
