Astral, small mistake on the information you've provided here. According to the service manual, 'S' in your image is going to the rear master cylinder and 'R' is going to the rear brake caliper:

Makes sense… S is the supply for MC to ABS, R is return from ABS to caliper.
Not the labeling I’d use but ok

Thanks Alk, that is indeed what I meant. Labeling is correct
@andyb well I guess that must be the fan club lol, "enemies on this forum" how trivial
i should start a poll and send out tshitsI, personally, never use the rear brake
But, people that do, say they're on it all the time. Corner entry (as you're braking), mid corner (help tighten the line), and anti-wheelie. I know some fairly slow riders that use it too, so can be used by all levels.
I have my engine brake set higher than I used to (ie more engine breaking), and am still setting PBs, maybe a connection!
Hello, +1, once you've tried the rear brake in tight corner, it is amazing how the bike turns. I would also go for the "scooter" brake but Beringer has this product: Thumb brake - Beringer Brakes

I’ve had the IMA thumb brake on my bike for some time but only recently started using it often. For sure I think the index finger brake (scooter) style brake will be easier to modulate.
I order the Dicacciati setup to try
Gents, here's an update, I got this project done over the winter.
Brembo RCS16 clutch master. Custom line straight to rear caliper. Needed new clipon for real estate since I have stock swithgear.
I have two days on this setup so far and its AWESOME. I find it natural to use one finger (middle finger) to drag the rear brake when needed.

I liked the index finger brake much better than the thumb brake on the Ducati…but for whatever reasons I like the thumb brake setup better on the KTM at track.
I’m running the Discattiati thumb brake, and on the RC 8C I find I’m actually using it a lot more…I use it on almost every corner now.
Very cool setup Tom…I also ran a line directly from the clip on to the rear caliper. This is the way.
Did you remove the foot brake altogether?

Yes, eliminated foot brake controls, pump etc.
The clutch-master setup is significantly cheaper to put together than the thumb brake, I am told. Assuming you don't need a new set of clipons for real estate..... Regardless of cost, I find it easy to modulate with finger.
