You can build one yourself with a custom length brake hose attached to your clutch master cylinder. If you want to use both the pedal and the hand lever you need to buy an adapter to splice the hand master cylinder into the foot master cylinder. Those aren't cheap, but not too terrible. I'll look for the adapter, I know they are out there. Of course Rekluse sells one, but you are trying to go the other route.
Edit- Here's a link to a junction valve. You would need to contact Geoff directly to see if he makes one for your application. Since you have a 2011, the pictured valve won't work, but there is one available somewhere that will work.

It seems that Rekluse does offer a dual system, see below. Can you send me a photo maybe I can buy the adapter from Rekluse?

I run a custom LHRB on my KTM. I did a ton of research and found that many prefer the older system that Rekluse sold before they went to this new one. The main complaint with the new system is that you don't get enough power on the LHRB.
I ran a dual set up for awhile and never really used my clutch, so took off my clutch all together and love it.
To make yourself a custom one all you need is a brake line. Speigler can set you up with ease. Simply hook up your brake line from you clutch MC to your rear calliper. Back bleed the fluid and remover your rear brake pedal. Away you go.
It is awesome and the best part of having an auto-clutch. I'll never go back!

Do you think the new Rekluse LH Master Cylinder would be able to supply enough power to run a Brembo dual piston rear brake caliper?

Warning!!
I have to warn you against the new rekluse dual system.

First off all, It's just a overpriced "Hayes" MTB brake master with a Rekluse logo.
Second, is the worst part, the dual action is optained by changing the lid of the original foot operated master to a new Rekluse lid with a thread to fit the brakeline from the LHRB.
That means when you use the LHRB you pressurize the original master from the top, and the brakefluid reservoir is NOT designed to take that kind of pressure!!
My friend fit the system on his GG 300 and it was actually working good, untill he while braking, heard a loud "POP" and the LHRB lost all pressure and his right boot was soked in brakefluid, the level check window in the foot master was gone leaving him with a big hole in his rear master

Thats sounds like a big mess. Thanks for the heads up, I think I will pass on the LHRB system for now.

I have heard this exact same thing before.
There is a lot of discussion about it on KTM Talk.

I have not seen this in the flesh, but...
Of course the rear master cylinder isn't designed to take the brake pressure in its reservoir (window and all), and I do not think the Rekluse design intends to use it that way either. There should be a o-ring at the bottom of the part that you insert into the rear master cylinder. At least this was the case with the previous dual action design (where you used the clutch master for the rear brake). This o-ring seals off the pressure, so that the pressure from the left hand master cylinder is routed into the rear master cylinder's high pressure circuit.
Could it be that the o-ring is missing or leaking, or that the length of the insert is wrong for the actual rear master cylinder?
I have been playing with the idea of building a similar system for my bike, so if you could give me a link to the Hope (or other make) radial master cylinder that Rekluse use, I would be grateful.

It's actually a "Hayes" lever. Google Hayes trail disc brake. They have several version trail, pro and stroker and you can choose black or white also. I went with a white to be a bit different . Plan is to have a custom braided line and fitting eliminating the rear brake lever(tired of replacing them)
The Rekluse install video does show a rubber oring for fitment on the bottom of the brake reservoir.

I will take a better look at my friends system, maybe he installed it wrong?
It's a "Hayes" not a "Hope" master, rekluse are using, The Stroker Trail master:

Good find on the Hayes Mtn Bike master cylinder.
I really like the slim style of this and how it does not take up much space at all.
But my concern is that it will not be able to operate my new LHRB setup that uses a daul piston KTM 950 Brembo Rear Caliper. I am currently using a KTM Brembo Clutch Master Cylinder to operate my caliper. It provides plenty of braking power that only a slight grip of the lever and the brakes are there! I currently still have my Magura clutch installed but it makes for a very messy left side of my handlebars. I honestly don't think I have a need for my clutch but am still keeping it for a safety precaution...

To answer your question.
Yes they do. And so does Brembo.
They are made to be used on stunt bikes. But with this type you have to add a small brake fluid reservoir and they are very expensive.

I like that caliper! I'll take a look at your link for the Magura master cylinders.
