    Hey, Folks! I'm new to XJbikes forum, but in the last 4 days that I've been brousing, I've found tons of useful stuff. I've got an '81 XJ650 that I'm gonna chop & bob, and many ideas to throw on it. I'll post pics as soon as I get them and throughout the build.

    I would like to know if anybody knows of a system, kit or otherwise fabrication to relocate all brake controls to the right pedal, so that both front and rear brakes operate from there.

    Welcome to the site!!!
    You would need to find a master cylinder to accomodate your idea and more than likely a remote resevior for your fluid,And an adjustable proportioning valve,Probably at least a 12 pack for creativity purposes and some crazy fab skills,Good luck be carefull!!

    MotoGuzzi used a system similar to that where the foot pedal worked one front caliper and the rear, the hand control worked the other front caliper

    Having ridden one some years ago I thought it was a fantastic system once I got used to it
