anybody have or have information about a rear brake lever setup to eliminate the brake pedal? I'm an 85% front brake lever user and being 6'5 with ac nerfs I use the widest stance possible, plus you have the best control of your bike with a wider stance.

What about a wider shifter, and by wider I mean one that extends further than 3" from the box cover. I have a big foot

Baldwin makes one for the 450r. You could possible compare the two levers, and make it work. To be honest, you could easily make your own. The Baldwin extension just bolts to the stock lever.

Gonna be kinda hard to have another lever on your handlebars dont ya think? Some polaris quads use a left lever for the brake b/c they dont use a clutch.

As for the shifter, figure out how long you want, take it off and weld it wit a piece of metal. Theres nothing else out there.

I did a lot of street bike riding as a kid, I don't like having to move my foot over to grab my back brakes

You can hook up a lever to put on your bars, and tilt it below your clutch lever. That's how my decompression lever is setup on my hybrid. Or you can get a rekluse clutch that eliminates the need for a clutch lever and just run a brake lever instead

rekluse makes a left hand rear brake set up with a shorty lever that mounts above the clutch lever. not sure if its a universal kit or only model specific. check their website

Sounds like a pain in he arse to me, seems like the rear brake pedal is just so much easier to use! Also sounds like a hand brake lever would get in the way of the clutch lever.

brake problem might be solved,now you just have to figure out how to mount a shifter on the bars and you can have that wide stance you're after.
