What are the main differences? Does the Alta kit retain the footbrake as well?
Have a photo to upload?
Thanks.

Butch

Where did you find the Alta kit?  I don't see a area on the Alta web site for accessories.

thanks

It is not available for sale just yet. Please bear with us another few weeks.
Butch is a "family friend" so we hooked him up as part of our testing program.

And it does not retain the pedal.

Alta, any idea when your kit will be available?  Looking to do something on my EX and if your kit is coming out soon I will wait to see what you offer.

Alta released their LHRB kit, and I beleive it can be ordered through your dealer.

We have some LHRB kits from Alta on order that should be ready to ship ASAP. We also stock the LHRB kit from Rekluse.

Alta Motor's official online store has the left-hand rear-brake lever, as well as a few other goodies. Early-adopter Redshift owners are getting emails from Marc at Alta with a $500 coupon code to shop in the store. I just ordered a LHRB lever, a skidplate, and a quick-release seat screw... and paid $42 total after applying the coupon code.

I guess the $500 is consolation for purchasing a Redshift in the first year, before the price dropped $2,000-$4,500 in the second year.

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


So I picked up the left hand brake kit from alta.  I am disappointed that it eliminates the rear footbrake entirely and am looking at brake line options to hook the LHRB up in series.

Did you do anything about the sight glass on the foot brake master cylinder?  Did you simply use a double banjo on the foot brake master?  I have seen online some claim that rekluse sell some type of adapter or new master cylinder cover for the foot brake but those posts are several years old by now and I can't find anything like that available online.

In any case a picture of your footbrake master setup and anything info on what you did to keep the sight glass from blowing out on the footbrake master would be very helpful. 

TIA

We have figured out all the parts here:
https://altaownersforum.com/threads/the-alta-factory-lhrb.41/

The Rekluse part is $150, and its bolt is too small. You should order from Clake, theirs is under $50 delivered.

We are figuring out the hose as well. I may have an off-the-shelf solution in a week or so.
