However the foot forward riding position restricts movement at the ankle from the relaxed foot position - ie you have to lift your foot slightly to get it on the brake lever and still retain enough ankle movement to use the brake effectively. You can't cover it like on a sportsbike. Well you can. I did on the way home after. It's just not comfortable for over an hour of riding.

I understand.Hopefully and from experience front brake failures are not common.I'm not OCD but I've stripped and cleaned/checked my SV's front brakes 3 times since I got the bike in January.
Once as a check when I got it and fresh fluid etc.
2nd time as it got a little grabby on the front at low speeds(Light corrosion on float pins,polished out and re-greased)
3rd time just because I had the front wheel off for a new tyre and thought might as well.
