throttle & brake queiries - SV650.org

Ok ,

basically im going through the process of building a stunt moped to practice on and hopefully compete eventually.

what I would like to do is run a dual throttle so ive got one on each side of the bars.

I would like them to run opposite to each other so right hand side pull back and the left push forward. How easy would that be to do?

also I would like to run dual brake levers so have front and rear brakes both sides, how could i do this? Would I need 4 master cylinders?

thanks in advance

For the throttle just use a second twist grip on the left bar if it's a typical throttle once fitted on the other side it will go backwards anyway, so to speak. You'll need a splitter like the one a Curvy has on the the choke cable.

There is a master cylinder that's fitted to a Honda scooter, (I forget which one, I'll have a think about that), it fits on one bar and works in the normal manner, and the other lever works a cable operated rear brake with a branch that also pulls the first master cylinder. Obviously you wouldn't need the branch off to the rear, but the master cylinder works from both levers - perhaps could be of use to you?
