Hmmm, sounds like a lot of effort for little gain... definitely lighter and would look cool... |

You could fit an electric brake lock. Fits into the hydraulic line and works via a 12 v actuator. From what I understand you flick a switch and apply the brakes... The brake lock act as a one way hydraulic valve, therefore holding pressure in the circuit after you take your foot off. There are a number of companies. Maybe try mico.com, not sure of cost but probably not too expensive.. Anyway... That's what I would do |

Line lockers and hydraulic handbrakes are not legal as parking brakes for road use. (but line lockers are very effective anti theft devices) |
