Abstract
A mechanism for placing a hand operated rear-wheel brake lever of a motorcycle on the left handlebar of the motorcycle. A steel wire is routed from the right foot brake pedal by an extension to a small lever found under the clutch hand lever on the left handlebar. When the lever is pulled inward, the wire pulls the right foot brake pedal up, activating the hydraulically operated braking system of the motorcycle's rear wheel without the rider having to use his/her right foot. Riders who engage in racing or who are traveling at high speeds have greater precision in their ability to brake the rear wheel of their vehicle.
