Yes, to all you have said. Brake wise it would be more prudent I believe, to actually have two master cylinders, one front and one rear. Easy to adjust the F-R brake balance, and the parking brake valve is easy to install in the rear system. We have run these bikes in the most severe conditions without chain failures; deep sand, two feet of water, mud, rocks, and deep snow, without failure. They are very high tech, large chains built to take 70ish horsepower in racing conditions. And the weight.... I am keeping track of the bike chassis's weight, and everything I take off or add as it happens. I hope to keep it as close to the weight of the two motorcycles with riders after they are connected together. Weight is my enemy! I have gained about 250 lbs by getting rid of the two engines, the rear coilover shocks are 12 lbs ea, the frame sections are more weight, plus a couple of gas tanks full of gas. Lots of places to build light... we shall see!
