Default Adaptations for ATV (hand and foot brake)

New to the ATV world. Asking for a friend. He is recently paraplegic and can no longer use the foot break on his POLARIS ATV. Can you marry the hand and foot brake to work in tandem? How? Are there other options out there? Hand controls on the rear brake would require you removing our hand from the handles to apply the brake and that is likely not a safe option.... Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

The 87 moto 4 did it just fine. if your rear brakes are cable driven you can run a cable up to the bars and then use a clutch lever from another bike. As long as your using an automatic quad if it requires a clutch lever youll need something else.

Welcome to the forums.

Don't know if they've changed, but the older Polaris quads I had, the brake on the handlebar did work both front and back. Look on the rear caliper and see if there are two bleed screws.
