I sell the Can Am Spyder in Reno NV at Michaels Reno Powersports. I have a potential customer who had a amputated right leg from the knee down. If anyone knows of someone who is making a hand brake, I would appreciate it and the gentleman who would like to start riding again would like it to. Thanks for your help.
This procedure would have to be made by some type of manufacturer in order for my service techs to install it and have it covered under warranty.

If Michaels Reno Powersports started manufacturing a hand brake kit, they could make many riders happy. ;) :D

The sport bike community (actually the racing guys) use a 'thumb brake' thats mounted on the left side for stunt riding or racing.

As to how much pressure that needed for a panic stop? :yikes: not sure, you would have to call and find out. Here another option:
