Has anyone sourced a flex lever for the left hand brake 10mm brembo? All I can find are clutch levers, Thanks!

Good news: There is no such thing as a "left-hand brake Brembo". They are all clutch master cylinders.

This?
SMX1-BR-RWHB-02
Rear hand brake master cylinder (Brembo)
This is the 10mm LHB, and just to note, I have this setup with the dual peddle and hand brake Rekluse and works great. I got rid of the lame 9mm Formula and balanced it with two brembo 10mm.

Hmm... Maybe it is from the KTM Freeride E. I stand corrected!This?

Stark Future website does not have a Brembo image, but I found this picture.
I would try a clutch lever for it. It looks like a clutch lever. If the distance from the pivot to the pushrod is ~17mm, then I suspect Brembo-compatible clutch levers should fit.

It’s actually the identical lever as the right hand brake, just mirrored. The clutch lever I do not think will be compatible.
If anything which could be compatible, i’m sure the lettering will be upside down for the logo (which really who cares lol). But it may be some whack a mole buying of parts and seeing what works best.
By the way I would probably move this thread to the Brake sub thread?

They surely make it complicated. If your right brake lever doesn't fit your left brake lever upside down, then an aftermarket lever won't fit either.

The brembo 10mm master cylinder SUCKS compared to the 9mm. The 10mm doesn't have the stopping power and instant lockup that the 9mm has. I'm taking the 10mm off my brand new Stark and putting a 9mm Brembo master on there with a new hydraulic line made by Spiegler.This?

What's is wrong with the Formula master cylinder?
I'd like to know before I spend too much time/money/effort adding a wrong LHRB lever.
I have always been having the Formula master cylinder, installed inward on the handlebar and used only with my index finger, pulling the lever at about 3/4 of its lenght.
I am a slow motocross rider.
I do train my index fingers a bit using grip strengthener in my routine.
Here is my review:
• general motocross use: great because the stopping power is enough and it's well controllable
• brake tapping while airborne: it seems ok, but I'm just learning how to do that because with my gas bike disengaging the clutch a bit was enough to pitch down
• oversteering by locking the rear wheel: this is something that I do seldom and usually when I'm having fun in some less crowded easy track alongside the main track, because generally I don't skid on berms or ruts. Well, after some minutes it's too tiring and so I just stop doing that; it does feel like it's not powerful enough for that use. Oversteering occasionally is manageable but you have to remember that you need to pull hard.
• lever stroke: ok
• fading: never had it
Overall, I'm pretty satisfied of my rear brake because I have no complaints for my use: motocross.
Can you tell me where you found a 9mm Brembo master cylinder? I'd like to find either a 9mm or 9.5mm and would prefer a brake mc rather than use a clutch mc.

Here are a couple options. I purchased the new one from Lithium and it's perfect. Now I just need to get it mounted up. I'm doing the conversion to the rear master to keep both foot and hand brakes active. I also purchased the long line that's supposed to go to the rear caliper, but I'll just loop it somewhere behind the plastic to keep it short.

Thanks, can you tell me what size bore is the master cyl you bought? It may be marked on the underside of the reservoir.Here are a couple options.

I also have these I don't need if anyone want's them? I'd sell the Formula master for $125 shipped US and the Rekluse for just the cost of shipping as I'm not sure it's fully functional. I got it from Rekluse locally as a test kit.
I'd like to have that Rekluse. I have one already and I'm not sure it works all that well. I'll send a PM.

Hey, does the Brembo pic I posted above look the same as yours? I'm unsure how to tell the bore mm of mine, which sounds like an important point for these rear brakes.
I'm interested, I need to know which master cylinder you have, photos would suffice, and the price. Is 9mm marked on the master cyl or how did you determine the bore size?
I'll send a PM.
