> [@boardjnky4](#): > > Oh that’s a cool idea. Any issues with balancing the difference in braking distribution between front and rear or is 50/50 generally a safe bet? it’s mostly front. Rear is mechaical linkage, front is hydraulic, so it’s got some safety redundancy (unless the pedal breaks off, lol). I just adjusted the mechanical linkage until a panic stop just barely skidded the rear tire. It’s not a racebike. Lol. ---

Realistically… 50/50 would be a TERRIBLE idea for motorcycle linked brakes… youd be dragging the rear tire all the time… Perhaps its better that this thing has shitty rear brakes! ---

This thing looks awesome, but very uncomfortable to ride? ---

I love this bike, all the little things you’ve changed, just make it present its self in a fantastic way. Plus it has a ton of character. Congrats on the feature, can’t wait to read it :tup: ---

> [@Willybeen](#): > > New license plate “dth trp” I jumped off a 3000’ cliff today with one parachute and deployed it about 200’ off the ground. The bike is not sketchy to ride and I can stop it fast. All those Harley dudes running around with more power and no front brakes are way sketchier, anyway. ---
