This is a bit of concept/ thought design for a piece I want to do. The question I'm pondering is how to lay out the controls to work with an ungilitgrade, hoof, foot. In particular how do you handle the back brake and shifter on the bike. Now for this model it has a stick shift so all I had to worry about was with the back brakes, but how would you work the shifter on a sportbike? I guess you could make all the controls hand-operated but I wanted a system that wouldn't put too much load on the hands and I was hoping to come up with a system that would only require a slight modifying of existing control layouts not a whole new system. Ideas?

This is actually pretty easy.
You put both rear and front brake systems in the front brake handle on the handlebar. Then if they want to use only the rear brake lets say, you can use the pivot point you have there on the right hoove side.
Make it a suicide shifter and use the clutch handle as normal.

Oh, hell yeah, thats very nice! I luv this! Mare on motorcycle what could be better? Me and my girlfriend ( https://www.furaffinity.net/user/anna ) both love motorcycles, but she is more into enduro/sport bikes and i am more into neoclassic/classic ones, though enduro is nice too.
It would take a bit more effort to work, but for the shifter:
Your hoof rests on the peg, and the shifter is a fork that has two prongs, actually going one on either side of your foot, front and back. You merely push your foot forward to shift up, and pull it back to shift down.
The rear brake could easily just be a standard pedal, but you have to shift your foot forward off the peg to step on it. Either that or just have there be a stiffer "return" spring such that you could rest your foot on the pedal without actuating the brakes accidentally.
