Seeking Source for proportionate valve

GWRRA Message Board Archives: april2001: Seeking Source for proportionate valve
By Nick Hoppner on Wednesday, April 18, 2001 - 11:11 am:

Just received an inquiry from a Member from Michigan (Frank Kluger-800-968-4597) whose father rides a Wing, but since the loss of his right leg, is unable to use both brakes.
Frank is looking for a source for a proportionate valve to enable all the braking be done through the right hand brake lever.
Anybody know a source or who might do the work?

Check with Wilwood. They are a brake specialist and may have something that will work. I know they have proporting valves as I used one on a street racer as a way-ward child of ill repute.

Couldn't the brakes be changed so the hand brake operates 1 caliper on the front and the rear instead of the foot brake doing this. I would think this would involve only rerouting the handbrake line to where the footbrake line goes now. I might be wrong?

J C Whitney handles proportioning brake valves in their auto catalog. They are also adjustable.
