Some of us pull trailers, mostly smaller ones but as for me a rather large & heavy one. (see photos NASSIR #2 )

I'd like to see the foot-brake rear/front have a lever to regulate the amount of applied brake pressure.

Regular one/two-up riding is fine where it's at.

Pulling my non-braked trailer does some pushing on the bike when stopping. I'd like a little more control, less front brake than rear.

Then when I pull my other trailer, with it's electric brakes, I'd like more front brake than rear. We know the handlebar brake lever can handle this since it's up front only but in some panic situations 2 firmly mounted hands on the bars is essential.

Just my (deflation :shock:

) $0.00002 worth.

Know its new taste, and be loyal, you'll know when, to change that oil.
Taste testing as the miles flow, souring as that acid grows.
And don't flirt with dirt or darkened oil, all the faster your engine will spoil.
If that soured oil turns to paste, new motors cost plenty, what a waste.
If friends find out, thy honor baste.(*)
Best get to it, with undue haste!

You would first have to get Honda to sanction pulling a trailer.
