Considering getting a new Alta Redshift EX / MX. since I own a Zero FX with a left hand rear brake, and love it, would like to install such an upgrade for the Redshift as well.
any suggestions for a suitable kit?

If you're a little bit more patient (2 months?), you will be able to purchase a Brembo kit from your Alta dealer.

That's great to hear, and the fact that someone from Alta read and pay attention to their customers in this forum is very important.
Another push for me towards buying a Redshift.

Maybe this one would fit?

From a safety point of view, I would recommend not using a combo setup: master cylinder with windows (like the one we use on the Alta) may fail because of the increased pressure in case you use both the foot and the hand levers at the same time.

I bought the "Basic Kit" $174, which is not a combo, for my 2014 Zero SR.  Works great, and I've totally removed the foot brake lever.  "Pro Kit" $299 is the combo setup, haven't tried that, and your point about safety makes sense I think.

Ciao Togo,

Do you mind sharing some pictures about the cable routing?

Grazie,
Giacomo

I pretty much just followed the electrical, secured with zip-ties, made sure there was slack at both extremes of the turning.

Like I said, this is a Zero SR, not an Alta, but I thought the kit might work for Alta too.

I have a Recluse one on mine. Fookin awesome.

Ah, this one from Rekluse?

Yes! I need to figure out how to put it on my gas bikes too...

The Rekluse left hand rear brake works great on the Redshift EX.

That's fantastic!  Looks like it's a good fit from what I can see.  I thought about doing one for my SM but I think it would be better for off road, if and when I can angle the EX or MX/MXR to add the stable, I'd surely do the hand brake mod.  Great job!

[odedmaz]

Thanks. Rekluse offer this kit specifically for the Alta. Fits very well.
Agree about how useful it is for off road. Not sure if its worth it for on road users.
