Default Switching clutch and brake

Have a question for everyone and see if this can be done. I have arthritis really bad in my left and it affects me using the clutch. I was think switching the brake and clutch lines if possible. This way I can use the clutch side as my brake and vise versa. I have a gasgas mc450 and I also put in a recluse full sip sand love so give me some ideas thanks Dave

I don't see why not. so long as the brake and clutch are compatible with brake fluid it should be as simple as switching the lines over (he said ...)

Most clutch masters are made for mineral oil, but that should be just a case of replacing the seals with seals that tolerate brake fluid.

And then remember to not let anybody else ride the bike

The older GG clutch masters used DOT 4 so you could use the brake master for the clutch provided the piston bore is similar in diameter.

have you thought about the logistics/coordination of riding a bike where you are twisting and clutching at the same time? Not to mention reprogramming your habit of pulling the (now) clutch when you want to stop in an emergency?

I?m lucky I don?t us the clutch for shifting so I think I?m in go shape. I think this will make me faster being able to dive into corners faster and later. The only safe way of doing this is having a recluse auto clutch which I love
