Bluedogz, I'm trying to figure out a safe, stable way to cope with the panic stop situ. If your prosthetic is the old type with a bolt hole at the nose, I think a Shimano SPD (or similar) clipless shoe mount meant for bicycling might be an inexpensive alternative (the pedal mounted to the handlebar). Another alternative would be some kind of padded brace between the seat and gas tank to support your weight in a panic stop.
I'm pretty familiar with a Z1, which shouldn't be too far off the KZ1000 and the throttle could be rigged to work off your right heel. I'm stuck on the front brake. While trying to keep left hand responsibilities to as few tasks as possible it could be operated with your left heel, but the master cylinder needs to be above the level of the front brake. Perhaps linkage to a frame mounted m/c near the steering headtube.

PS I miss my old KDX250! Last five or six days have been spent in my garage also...put the T595 on the back burner as both my Mustangs demanded attention ASAP...a radio, cold beer and a good attitude coped with the smell of diff. lube.
