[QUOTE="Gurock, post: 1399014, member: 28308"] I love linked brakes. Most bikes I've owned have had them. I've only been riding ten years. I understand why some especially those who have ridden for many years may have their reservations, but the linked brakes will save the rider from any number of dumb braking mistakes. I always figure if a dumb mistake is possible I'll probably make that mistake at some point. Any of the members that think my philosophy regarding mistakes is wrong, just look up the thread on here that I think begins with something like "I dropped my bike and the worst injury was to my pride" After the poster told of his careless moment where his FJR fell and explained how he felt that a crowd of people saw him do it. In the following days there must have been at least thirty members that told their story of dropping their bike in a dumb moment and the embarrassment that come with. It's just possible to have careless moments and linked brakes will at least help with the careless moment of using one brake hard and it allows for you to use your front brake a little more liberally IMHO.
