whit brake

I wouldn't use it personally, but I have a buddy who is an amputee below his right knee. He is considering getting one because he can't lift his prosthetic foot to operate a normal brake lever, but he can push his whole leg down and forward to operate this sort of brake. His other option is some sort of system where the front brake lever operates front and rear brakes. Any suggestions?
 
If you will remember, Harley used that design on some of the old flatheads for operating the foot clutch on the left footboard.
I am sure they had a good reason to stop.
 
Sounds like a linked braking system would help people who can't really use the rear breaks. For those who shift weight in the turns this new breaking system would not work. I put pressure on my boards when I make sharp low speed turns (Ride Like a Pro) and this will not work for me. I guess it would be good for people who think the break lever is in the way.

Let us know if anyone gets it and how it works for you.
