[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1358779, member: 3828"] Yes, that was the plan as originally stated. To use that 4th pair of cylinders for the front, like a normal bike. Thinking more about the intended use of the unified brake system, it would seem that they designed it so that an inept rider can just mash that rear brake pedal and allow the ABS to cycle on the rear caliper circuit to keep the wheel from locking up, meanwhile producing some braking power on the front unified brake cylinders which are on a separate ABS circuit. I suppose one could just remove the hollow banjo bolt from the front right lower hydraulic line and (after retracting the two unified caliper pistons) replace it with a solid one. That would effectively disable the rear pedal linkage to the front and not change how the front or rear brakes or ABS works from stock. The only difference would be no front braking effect from the rear pedal. That would also make the change very easily reversible. The down side is that you would have reduced the total front braking power when both front and rear are used together. [/QUOTE]
