Brake System Modification OEM brake system and trike modifications The original Honda motorcycle brake system utilizes both front and rear brakes when the foot brake is applied. During the trike conversion the brake system will be modified. Once modification is complete, the rear brake pedal will maintain front and rear linked braking. The front brake lever will operate the front brakes only. The anti-dive valve feature is maintained on both front and rear braking. The diagrams below outline the difference between the original Honda GL1800 brake system and the modified Trikes brake system.
