Dudes.
You could go one step further, and buy the left and right hand scooter master cylinders with levers from Magura, get new vented rotors from Hot Seat, some Ferodo sintered pads from Advantage Performance Distributors, then use stainless brake lines all round. You will need a coupple of adaptors, as the Maguras are metric, but after that, you can lift the rear off the ground by using two fingers on the fronts, and a single finger will lock the rear when moving. This is how brakes should be.
It was quite costly, but well worth the expense. I have tried the HDP split brakes, but the lines are still crap. The stock rotors and pads are not up to the task either.

The split brake kit is a great idea though. I've always thought it odd that Honda and Yamaha for years only had full time 4wd's, but still offered seperate brake controls, but Polaris, which always had selectable 2/4wd had linked brakes. It would make more sense if it were the other way around, because with a full time 4wd applying the brakes at either end affects all four wheels.

polarisrules44,
I have one on both the Trailblazer and Sport. Believe me when I say it was a pain in the A$$ to get them right! The best thing to do would be to change it all over at once. There would be much less pain involved. If I would have got the steel braided brake lines and the master cylinders put on all at once, there would be many less four letter words burning a hole in the ozone layer right now.
This is assuming you can find a split brake kit. The one for Celeste's TB was the last one they had at Chopper City Sports. HPD doesn't make them any more either.
