Yes. But first, I need a bit of backround; is this for handicaped or stunting or what? |

There's a ton of info available. Google is your friend. The way I've seen it done is by using a clutch master cylinder/lever setup and mating it to a rear brake slave cylinder (caliper) on the left handlebar using a short lever under the clutch lever. |

is there a way to mate the foot brake and a externel hand brake to a single caliper? |

I have no experience with this but I don't see why you couldn't just add a "T" to the brake line. |

OK i googled buell rear hand brake and did not come up with too much I really need a step by step on how to do this and what parts i need to order. I was thinking about rigging some kind of clutch type cable to run to the slave and pull up on the existing brake i think it may work without having to have an extra caliper |

http://www.thestuntfactory.com/gphaki.html This is the first thing I found on a google search. There's a lot more there. Try to ignore the fact that these kits don't say Buell. Dude, there's damned little Buell stuff out there. Do a little research; determine the volume of the rear brake caliper and the volume of the rear brake master cyl. Find a hydrolic clutch setup of the same volume that will mount on your handlebar. A new line would likely have to be custom built, including a longer bolt for a banjo fitting. This way, you could just stack the two lines. Another option would be to have a new line made up with a "T" in it. |

You can easily "T" it all together. Just have to look it all over real well. |

I ended up buying a different Nissin master cylinder so I could fit the teardrop shaped piece like the one pictured below. I used the screw to hold it on but also used a hose clamp around the whole thing just to make it extra secure so it didn't leak. But here's one website that would sell the whole setup: http://www.fullthrottleinc.net/store/index.php/cPath/16_70_83

This might work also, even tho it says it only fits those specific bikes. Looks like you can use this if you wanna keep the stock master cylinder...... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Handbrake-Full-Throttle-Hand-Brake-Adapter-Line_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZQ7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a30QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em14Q2el1262QQhashZitem53d57ca2f2QQitemZ360064000754QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories (Message edited by duff24 on June 06, 2009) |

One of my co-workers runs a stunting parts business on the side, I will hit him up and see what he has for 3rd brake kits for us. |
