Hi, I am an older rider . live In southern Virginia ,USA. I own a 1986 Honda XL 350 R now. I use to race 125 class , Hair scrambles In New Hamshire & New England USA. Way back in the 1980's ) in 1996 I had a little accident & lost my right leg from the Knee down ! This Has not stopped Me from getting on my bike still once in awhile . But, I need to find out where I can get a Brake conversion kit to add a Lever too my Handle Bars to control the rear Brake . It is very hard Not too stand On the rear Brake while going down steep hills . I have had one too many accidents that could have been avoided . it is hard to ride In the Mountains with out real Brakes . I have been gearing down to slow down . But, Once in awhile I forget that I am missing that rear brake & right Foot ! I have Plowed alot of new trails while trying to stop!! I wear a Flex foot(RSVP ) that is very simaler to a leaf spring with a shock ) . But the foot dosen't have the movement of a real foot . Any way if anyone can steer me towards a conversion Kit ! I am a welder By trade , & own a Ornamental Metal fabrication shop ,In Bedford ,Virginia USA. thanks again , johnmatisse
