Practice, practice. I came off a Guzzi with linked brakes and the only way to stop fast was to jump on all of the brakes. First time I tried that on the Sprint I was sideways.
When I ride the Norton things get really confusing. It has an opposite shift pattern on the opposite side. You stomp on the back brake and up shift or you go to bang a shift and you hit the rear brake. It takes a few miles and conscious effort to get it right. Fortunately those memory brain cells are only dormant and not fried.
