Guest jethroe Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Having no gear lever, would like to fit brake lever on the left hand side. is this feasible. Link to post
Tex 36,817 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Anything is possible if you want to do it badly enough. You're going to need a cross shaft, but it will definitely need some fabrication skills, including, most probably, welding. Link to post
bikerbampi 542 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I seem to remember seeing pics of such a conversion on a 700X DCT some time ago. As I remember a Silverwing brake lever was used and associated pipe work. Edited September 13, 2016 by bikerbampi Link to post
stephenmcg 869 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I personally do not think this is a good idea. You may forget, or someone rides bike and pull lh lever like a clutch. It would be some emergency stop. Just my 2p worth. Smcg in Glasgow Link to post
Guest Hati Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 You could buy the Integra left hand assy, the hose should be reaching across I would imagine. Is this swapping front brake to the left or moving foot brake to the handle bar? Link to post
Guest Monty1952 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Certainly not really doable or even desirable on 2016 NC750X DCT with handbrake lever. I honestly gave it a great deal of thought coming from 2 scooters (Forza and BMW C600 Sport) but soon realized it was a big job if it could be done. What's your reason for wanting these? Link to post
CFB 4,602 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Me through, are you talking about the footbrake or a brake lever on the left handlebar. Both are possible but I suggest you contact these organisations for advice. http://disabledmotorcycleriders.com/ www.nabd.org.uk http://www.disabilitymotorcycleaids.com I'm certain they have done something similar before.

I ride a Triumph Bonneville on fine days with a foot operated rear brake, and a Honda Forza 125 with hand operated rear brake on other days. No emergency stops here! Unless they are needed of course.
