Default Can't use rear foot brake on 400ex

anybody know of anything that would help having the rear brakes on a hand brake while keeping the front hand brakes, i can't use my right leg, someone suggested buying another brake booster, longer lines, and putting two hand brakes on the right side at different angles. What do you think?

There was a post on this the other day. They suggested a Polaris setup, where both front and back work off the same lever.

Another possibility is to run a thumb brake. Take a front brake master cylinder and mount it backwards (resevoir facing you) on the left handle bar. Fab a lever out of some plate aluminum so you can use you left thumb to operate it, then just run a line to your rear caliper. I have seen this setup on a couplw of quads as well as a street bike and it works great.
