Question to folks who've fitted their bikes w/ the LHRB AND kept the foot pedal (using a double banjo bolt). Does the rear brake feel "soft" or do you get as good of modulation as you would w/ just the LHRB and the foot pedal removed?

The left-hand break feels the same without the foot brake, but when applying both the foot brake overrides the handbrake. I had the left-hand brake hydraulic line shortened with a 20° end.

Do NOT use a double banjo bolt, because you will blow the sight glass out of the foot master cylinder.
Use the adapter as shown in the above post by @Fog 25.
You can get what you need from Clake or Racetorx.
And to answer your question, you can easily lock up the rear wheel with the hand lever only.
I have both on my bike, and only use the foot lever when I am holding a beer in my left hand.🍺

What he said, use the adapter. I’ve used the Clake on several bikes. In my opinion, the hand brake feels a little soft. I’m not sure why but feels the same on my KTM that also has the LHRB.

That said, I actually like that it is not touchy. It’s almost like ABS. It takes a fair bit of pressure to lock up the rear with the lever. It’s great on steep downhills.

The foot pedal feels no different to me with the LHRB installed
