Arrow handbrake DIY question...HELP!

Crazy question...
Is there a way to build a handbrake without being forced to use a second caliper on rear disc?
Can I connect to rear master cylinder with a long line from the barz?
Do I have to use another master cylinder in front too?
I'd like to get a **** like this...
stepping on rear brake sometimes proves to be dificult
:YEAHthanx for advice...

Re: handbrake DIY question...HELP!

thanx guys...
you saved me a lot of time,money(beers)...
it so ****in hard to get anything in Poland...
the best solution I saw in mu country is having another caliper welded next to the rear one,and then getting it connected to the barz...
sound crazy but its supposed to work...
but I think I gonna stick to throwing the reservoit out and making a line to the master cylinder in the left hand bar...
oh,and how the hell am I supposed to get a left hand master cylinder?
will any hydraulic clucht application work well enough?
any ideas?
I appreciate any help...
Its a DIY world in here...

p.s. FTP!!!

Re: handbrake DIY question...HELP!

ok...
so if anything radial/non radial works...then I'd have to flip the master cylinder over to make it fit in the left side...then how can I make it work as its going to (probably) swallow air out of the cylinder (which is upside down)?
is overfilling the solution?
argh!

Re: handbrake DIY question...HELP!

I was thinking that, too^^. But if you bleed the master right side up and then flip it, fill the reservior. It will be okay.
