[QUOTE="RBEmerson, post: 1396551, member: 91458"] Uh, IIRC applying the rear brake also applies two cylinders on the front brake. Further, it's my understanding the rear brake is applied when the front brake is applied. The later isn't a completely useless idea, unless the rear wheel (which always has less braking ability compared to the front brake) is lightened to the point it loses almost all contact with the road (see above re: launching. - For unbelievers, trucker associations rank Pennsylvania as being high on the list of the worst roads in the US). Braking and losing contact is not a good thing. It creates the possibility the rear end will try to pass the front end. (Eek!) I wish I could remember where I heard/read this. I am wide open to correction on how linking works. NTL, I really, really, really want to be able to disable linked brakes. Think of it as being on a par with being able to disable traction control when trying to, for example, get out of sand (why would anyone take an FJR to a place where that could happen - Daytona's beach, maybe?). Oh well, I also really, really, really want someone to give me a pound of 20's sliced paper thin, too. [/QUOTE]
