[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 446734, member: 434"] Interesting farkle idea. I can imagine it *could* be done. First, it wouldn't be a cable, but would need to be hydraulic. My guess would be several hard parts would include retrofitting say a clutch mechanism from a conventional FJR including reservoir onto the AE. Could someone add all the clutch hardware with what is unique gear to the left AE hand? You're lucky because the FJR clutch is hydraulic...the same as the rear brake. Then you'd need a custom clutch line to run near the rear brake. Then you'd need some way to T into the rear brake line. Perhaps a scavenged front brake manifold from a Gen 1 ABS? This concept would make it so both could work. The other big hurdle I could see is the proportionalness of the two systems. Perhaps the clutch has too little or too much action compared to the rear brake. [/QUOTE]
