Aye, but I should be up there from when I was a rear braker and fell off That'd give the same 75/25 split as with the front brakers.

I've gone with front brake mostly because I tend to use it more when I need to stop fast...

The rest of the time I'm a both braker...

i meant in the sense that there is no option for linked braking. and what works for me is a combination of both depending on circumstances but mostly engine braking

Worth noting that the SV's manual (for the K4 at least) recommends you use mainly the front brake!

...... I don't expect to many peeps have installed linked brakes on an SV, this is an SV forum isn't it?

But then, the K1 manual says "Only fit Mez4 tyres"
