; Setup to replace the rear brake's foot pedal by a left hand bar lever.
* The brake has a great feeling and it can activate the ABS with one finger.
* A clutch master cylinder DOT4 compatible from AJP (reference 650.00.302) with a 9.5 mm piston can be used.
*: Master cylinders with pistons from 9 to 11 mm are suitable.
*: A bigger one will give a too hard to press feeling.
*: A smaller one will be really too soft and not effective.

;Steps (General)
# Disconnect the foot master cylinder from the ABS block.
# Connect the hand master cylinder in its place.
#* A 70 cm brake hose is long enough to connect the master cylinder to the ABS.

;Notes
* To make the bleeding easier, it is possible to inject brake fluid from the caliper with a big syringe up to the master cylinder.
* Pressure Sensor
*: It is not possible to reuse the pressure sensor that is mounted on the foot master cylinder (built in the banjo screw).
*: The OEM sensor's thread is M10x1.25 mm.
*: The replacement sensor's thread on the caliper and the hand master cylinder are M10x1 mm.
** It must be possible to mount an M10x1 mm pressure sensor instead of the original.
*: This sensor is used to activate the rear light when braking.
