I forgot to add alot of bikes and scooters have what's called combined brakes where grabbing one applies both front and rear-so again yes it can be done

Never understood why setting the sag has to be so difficult-wrap a wire tie around one fork tube sit on the bike bounce up and few times slide wire tie down till it touches the fork lower remove weight from front end centerstand works great measure how high wire tie is up on the fork that's your sag-took longer to write this than do it-one of the first things I do with a new bike is install a wire tie and leave there I check it every so often because springs do sag over time

Yes it was covered by me-so I'm on my second one -here's what I did to solve the problem- first file the back edge that contacts the centerstand to a 45 degree angle still no fit than look at the side stand bracket that is welded to the frame and move the sidestand up and down a few times and you will see where the two (sidestand and bracket touch) glue a 3mm thick piece of hard rubber to the sidestand that is enough to change the angle of the srtand when up--works great and 3mm isn't enough to interfere with the sidestand switch-the only down fall if you want to call it that is the sidestand no longer goes clunk when it goes up

Had a little experience with this sort of thing in the industrial world-you could try running the back brake with a custom hose and piggyback it to the front master cylinder the ratio would be off but that might be fixed by adding a proportion valve inline and adjusting the flow--just a thought -any thing like this would need a good bit of experimentation but I'm sure it can be done just think how brakes on a car work

Just saw a new rear rack for the 2019-2020 made by National Cycle and you can leave the stock grab rails on

I haven't a clue but for them to drop the price that much on 2016 up somethings different or it could be like the stock windshields the older ones are way more expensive than the newer models and the newer ones are much bigger-go figure-I can tell you this being I worked with them (Japanese engineers) the thinking is way different than the west but in the end the products they produce are good to better than the west

The 13,14,15 have the same part number--16,17,18 different number so somethings different
