Although my machine is over ten years old now I have not had any problems with the linked brakes. However I must say it has been garaged, doesnt have many miles on it, and has rarely been in the rain or on dirt roads.While I have been able to understand how the linked brakes work and to service them, Ive seen all the trouble they have caused so many people. I would not like to be in the position of not being able to service them nor at the mercy of the dealers (who dont see many of these bikes) Also, as these machines age I have to believe these troubles will only become more likely. Then too since Honda doesnt make them anymore at some point parts might not be available.
Given all the above it occurs to me the solution is to convert the system back to conventional motorcycle brakes. Unfortunately Im not smart enough to figure out how to do that. Has anyone given this any thought? Im looking for a simple, cheap, eloquent procedure hopefully making maximum use of existing components.
