Brake Question - Advise sought

Guest · 2008-07-11T16:37:04Z

Group, First post - The Wife is very interested in us looking into building a side car rig. Current thought is to purchase a used V-Strom 1000 and put a Ural sidecar on it. Probably have Dauntless do the work. Question is this - I would drive the rig most of the time - BUT the wife want to drive it as well. She does not have the use of her right leg. What would be the best way to rig up the brakes on this type of rig? Front brake - work on front and rear? Front brake lever work all three wheels? Some other arrangement? Since I will be driving it as well - any other thoughts on construction possibilities? What are the ramifications in control would we loose with these mods? Thanks for your help. Steve Olympia, WA

Read the reprint of J.R. Ewing's "WONDERFUL, Wonderful, BRAKES" in the current (Summer 2008) issue of Hack'd Magazine.
