Has anyone else installed and used this dual lever system?
I have mine set up as front and back brake on the right handlebar (back brake pedal removed due to stiff leg)

I don't see why this is not standard from the factory. A trike behaves more like a car than a bike (you can apply the brakes mid-turn). For most people they could link the brakes using the pedal. I'm surprised by the number of HD riders who never use the front brakes and a linked system would be a good mod.
I had to google up the system, I've never heard of it. Seems like a great idea if you have a physical handicap. A friend on another board had Polio as a child and has ghost wheels on his Ultra. He only uses the front break because he has very limited use of his right leg. I sent him a copy. Our off road quads are Polaris. They use a proportioning valve system in the break lever. 70 / 30 ratio front to rear. The pedal is mechanical and for 'emergency' only. Works very well.

Why 3 wheels?
because 2 isn't enough and 4 is too many

I have a friend who is a paraplegic and has a HD sportser with a frankenstein kit. There is a dual lever brake system on the bike and it works great.

</div>Screwball, I hope this is of help for your friend <img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" class="inlineimg" /> SoCal Trikes in California is where I got it from.
Rix was a great help with his advice. You can change them for what you need: brake/brake or brake/clutch <img src="images/smilies/thumbup.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" class="inlineimg" />

My front and rear brakes are both tied into my front brake lever. No proportioning valve was needed, runs off stock master cylinder.(sp)<br />
<br />
I also have a kliktronic shifter.<br />
<br />
Both feet are gone, so the dual brake system and electronic shifter enable me to ride.<br />
<br />
I looked at the dual lever brake but we were able to achieve the same thing without the horrendous cost of the K-Lever.<br />

I say what ever gets you and keeps you in the wind is a good thing!
