 |  Shifting rear brakes from the left handle to right foot Hi, I have a gilera dna 180cc which is a scooter ... will it be possible to Shift ther rear brakes from the left handle to right foot? I am concerned because I learned on a 400cc bike with gears and i do not wish to lose the habit that the rear break is under my right foot. |

| With a little mechanical aptitude that should be an easy (but perhaps time-consuming) operation. You'd need to acquire a lever from another bike and find or make a cable of the appropriate length. Some metal machining and fabrication experience would be necessary, though.

| Yes what Clint said...still can't get used to that name! Anything is possible but do you really want to go to all of that trouble simply because you may forget the habit of braking.....I ran a vintage British bike for a while and the gear and brake levers are reversed to what is normal practice today...many times I was slowing down instead of changing gear and vice versa.....but the old habits come back real quick. But hey! if you want to then do it! Good luck
