This might actually be something to look into. Might do what Honda did with their Goldwing. Rear brake pedal also engages 1 front rotor only of the dual rotor setup. Yes, might be something to look at. See how Honda did it. Copy them.

EDIT~ Is this a safety issue? How is your arm/grip for steering in slow speed maneuvers? How about throttle sensitivity? The right hand does more than squeeze the brake lever. Engine cut off switch is another concern. Turn sig also.
