Why would you want to -
Honda spent time and money enineering the bike to have it the way it is, please explain the logic of altering their designs.
I have travelled many miles, and at speeds which kept me in front of a hiyabusa on the motorway from Dublin to Portlaoise, and know a few others who can handle their varadero's without altering the brakes (which should only be used for emergency's if you're a pilot who has control of the machine).

Having owned a Varadero and struggled to keep it at 125 behind two Hayabusas which were hitting 150 on the N18, I also wonder why you would want to de-link the brakes? The Vara is a pure land barge and anything that keeps it more stable under heavy braking has to be a good thing.

or whatever it is used have lots of delinking and TwinDero big front wheel conversions but they are for hardcore vara nuts. I wouldn't bother unless you have a Blackbird that you are using for trackdays.
