As a rule do not front brake much unless bike is upright, but in cornering how much can we safely apply front brake without risking a low side in normal dry road conditions, my guess
this is too vague to answer.. how would we practice this trail breaking ? thanks

I of course burn off speed before the corner etc

^^ read it, understand it, practice it.

How much front you can use will depend on how smooth you are.
If you are smooth as Lorenzo, you can use a TON of front. If you are hamfisted, not so much

Don't you ride a cruiser?

It's doable on any bike BTW...
