i think it will not be very easy to apply both the brakes simultaneously with correct pressure i.e. different pressure on front and rear brakes.

i have one more suggestion- though i am sure nobody would have tried it earlier.

remoe the gear pedal and somehow connect two gear cables to it and connect the gear cables to left handle bar grip. the left handle bar grip has to be a movable one like those in earlier scooters.
then mount rear brake pedal near to left feet.

it will need some amount of DIY thinking and sourcing of parts, but if done properly, you will be changing gears by left hand, just like it is done for scooters. then you can use both the brakes at the same time and use clutch also or change gears all at same time just like normal.
just gie it a thought.

some early motorcycles has this type of gear shifting mechanism, if you can source old parts from internet shopping--



read this--



or you can install this e-shifter ( electronic/hydraulic shifter) so that brake pedal can be installed for left foot--

Just a thought

Move your Gear's to Hand operated...right side of the tank (as in the old RE model) & remove your gear shift on your left and convert it to rear brake

Not sure how much it would cost, have seen a old person in Mettupalayam who has converted his standard 350 like this and he had been using this for ages, he just had a simillar problem where he was not able to use his heel / toe part.

This is a good suggestion IMO.
But the front disk has to be removed I guess and need to be fitted with drum (possibly alloy wheel of discover will do ?).
And if he can find a good mechanic, he would be able to get the parts of Honda Activa and use them, though it won't be a direct fit.

As Dual disc200 pointed out,try using a second lever but fitted at about 30-45 degrees below the clutch lever to activate the rear brake this will eliminate the problem of not being able to use both brakes together with varying pressure for each side.( got the idea from chris pfeiffer's bike it had two on the left handle bar)You can also actuate the brake by installing a throttle grip like control on the left side.Since you say that your budget is about ten to twelve thousand try to get custom switchgear for the left side after installing the twist grip brake actuator on the left to accomodate the spool of the twist grip.

Check this pic where the rear brake is connected from the left handlebar, above the clutch as Dual_disk_200 said.

The pic is of the bikes used in MTV stuntmania. The clutch lever is cut in half and kept above the rear brake lever in left side of handlebar and is welded to the rod of original (foot) lever. This way both the levers can be operated for rear brake.

I ran into this a couple of days back, thought of this thread and clicked a photo. Forgot to post earlier so posting now.





Ignore the extra wheels, concentrate on how the brake levers are managed.

This is really a good option, our local lathe guys / mechanics rocks as always !
Good effort antz.bin to take the pics and post, much appreciated.

Thanks a lot for the pics. I think this will be a good pic to start with as reference.

Both brakes on right handlebar as shown here is the better option for me, but will require more adjustment on my bike due more space taken up by front disk cylinder.


I'm planning to go for the modification at the end of this month. Will surely update later with pics and experiences.

You can also have switchgear on the right/left handle bar swapped with one that has a choke lever like the one in the pic and connect the other end of the cable to the brake lever(rickshaw clutch or throttle cables will be sufficiently long).I think some of hero honda's bikes had them.That way you get a bike without extra levers on any handle.You said that you have a pulsar & I think it has an auto choke P.s correct me if I am wrong.the part with number 46092B is the lever I am talking about.
