Did you do a search on the forum? There are a quite few threads on the LHRB solutions available, and peoples experience.

I did consider it myself, and even went as far as buying a second hand master cylinder, similar to the one that Rekluse uses for their kit. My plan was to fabricate the rest of the parts myself. But I never got around to doing it, and nowadays I don't feel the need.

However, I planned to keep the rear brake pedal as well has having LHRB, for obvious reasons. To me, the rear pedal is the "panic" brake, and I use it when I stop thinking and just start doing things the way I am used to in an emergency.

I once watched my daughter on a borrowed Beta 250 where there was no rear brake pedal (and she wasn't told before trying it). She went right off the track, not because she carried too much speed in the first place, but because the bike didn't respond like she expected when approaching a turn and trying to hit the rear brake.
