Brake setup ?
Probably a dumb question but I want to run my rear brake off a hand lever and master cylinder. Will it have enough power to work the rear caliper? I am only running a rear brake and for clutch jockey shift like the idea of freeing my other foot you know for red lights and that kinda stuff lol

A small caliper for the hand lever and leave the foot brake alone is a common solution. I like using the Indian Four clutch pedal that latches down. Mountain roads and lots of drunken neighbors make a way to hold it on a incline, ready to go important!
My 50 Scout idling in gear with the clutch latched down.

Interesting about the Indian four.
How does the latch function? That could be worth copying.
