Of course you can use that M/C. It will operate exactly as you say.
But;
The safety factor is not just for you. We know you will be doing everything in your power to drive safe and not have to depend on a 50 year old design. But safety factor should also consider the schmucks of this world who do stupid dangerous stuff in your flightpath.
As long as you are diligent in your total system maintenance, you may well never get into trouble.
But why, being as intelligent as you are about brakes, and while the conversion to a dual system is so easy and economical, would you choose to carry on with the single piston system?
I too have suffered a system failure. I lost the front brake, on a 2-piston system. And little did I know that the rear system was so far out of adjustment and had so little power. When the pedal went to the floor, I frantically pumped the pedal, and managed to avoid potential death. I can't say I would have been so lucky with a single piston M/C.
I would never knowingly operate a car on a public street with a single-piston system.
Do as you wish. . There are lots of stupid or inconsiderate people in this world,willing to see you test your brakes. Try not to kill or maim any of them.
