Linked Brake System Info And Explanation Of How It Works
I read everything in my Trike service Manuel today concerning the linked brakes. It said nothing about any special adjustments needed. It did however go into detail about a specific way the linked brake system is suppose to be bled and serviced. If this is not done correctly there could be issues or if there is a plugged or blocked bleed back valve on the front there could be braking issues. There were several symptoms mentioned which included dragging or locking brakes.
This is how the Linked Brake system functions according to the manual.
The rear brake peddle activates the middle pistons in the front brake calipers when applied along with the rear brakes. The front brake applies the rest of the pistons in the front calipers when applied. The outside line to each front caliper is from the rear brake peddle. The front brake by it self only operates the front brakes.

Looking for break mod info.
I'm a right A/K amputee currently riding a 2015 Freewheeler. Looking for info on how to modify brakes so right hand lever operates front and back. The local Harley shop tried a modification that left me with locked up front brakes about 5 miles from home. Another possibility would be a rear brake pedal on the left side of the trike. Currently using a RIDE-ABLE pneumatic system for the rear, but it lacks the sensitivity of hand or foot operation. No one I know of in Louisiana does these kinds of mods. Any help would be appreciated!!
