WTB Rekluse LHRB

[Moto7man]

Does anyone have one of these for sale. If not, where is the cheapest place to buy one?

You can build one yourself with a custom length brake hose attached to your clutch master cylinder. If you want to use both the pedal and the hand lever you need to buy an adapter to splice the hand master cylinder into the foot master cylinder. Those aren't cheap, but not too terrible. I'll look for the adapter, I know they are out there. Of course Rekluse sells one, but you are trying to go the other route.

Edit- Here's a link to a junction valve. You would need to contact Geoff directly to see if he makes one for your application. Since you have a 2011, the pictured valve won't work, but there is one available somewhere that will work.

I have one off my 06. I've had it about a year. I took it off because I plan on selling the bike. It's the rekluse that come with a Magura master and eliminates the foot pedal. Rekluse doesn't make a dual action kit for GG that I know of. PM me if you're interested

It seems that Rekluse does offer a dual system, see below. Can you send me a photo maybe I can buy the adapter from Rekluse?

Yep. those are the newer bicycle pump kits and have smaller lines and fittings. The older kits are not compatible with the new ones.

I run a custom LHRB on my KTM. I did a ton of research and found that many prefer the older system that Rekluse sold before they went to this new one. The main complaint with the new system is that you don't get enough power on the LHRB.

I ran a dual set up for awhile and never really used my clutch, so took off my clutch all together and love it.

To make yourself a custom one all you need is a brake line. Speigler can set you up with ease. Simply hook up your brake line from you clutch MC to your rear calliper. Back bleed the fluid and remover your rear brake pedal. Away you go.

It is awesome and the best part of having an auto-clutch. I'll never go back!

I have to warn you against the new rekluse dual system.

First off all, It's just a overpriced "Hayes" MTB brake master with a Rekluse logo.

Second, is the worst part, the dual action is optained by changing the lid of the original foot operated master to a new Rekluse lid with a thread to fit the brakeline from the LHRB.

That means when you use the LHRB you pressurize the original master from the top, and the brakefluid reservoir is NOT designed to take that kind of pressure!!

My friend fit the system on his GG 300 and it was actually working good, untill he while braking, heard a loud "POP" and the LHRB lost all pressure and his right boot was soked in brakefluid, the level check window in the foot master was gone leaving him with a big hole in his rear master..

Thats sounds like a big mess. Thanks for the heads up, I think I will pass on the LHRB system for now.

I have heard this exact same thing before.
There is a lot of discussion about it on KTM Talk.

I have not seen this in the flesh, but...
Of course the rear master cylinder isn't designed to take the brake pressure in its reservoir (window and all), and I do not think the Rekluse design intends to use it that way either. There should be a o-ring at the bottom of the part that you insert into the rear master cylinder. At least this was the case with the previous dual action design (where you used the clutch master for the rear brake). This o-ring seals off the pressure, so that the pressure from the left hand master cylinder is routed into the rear master cylinder's high pressure circuit.
Could it be that the o-ring is missing or leaking, or that the length of the insert is wrong for the actual rear master cylinder?

I have been playing with the idea of building a similar system for my bike, so if you could give me a link to the Hope (or other make) radial master cylinder that Rekluse use, I would be grateful.
