I was just at the bookstore thumbing through the latest issue of Classic Motorcycles and read a short article promoting a rear brake cable conversion kit from Dime City. The rationale for this $60 fix was to eliminate unintentional actuation of the rod controlled rear brake during swing arm compression. The author said that the effect was not enough to lock rear wheel, but would “get your attention” when navigating a hard turn with a dip (a bit hairy, in any case IMO).
This never happened to me or even occurred to me in my 350 riding experience, though I have never been an aggressive rider. I certainly understand the mechanics of the “problem” and it is a reason not to adjust rear brake too tight, but has anybody else noticed this?
