I have definitely seen a mad weight weenie single-speed MTB that ran both disc callipers from a single lever. He split the hose mid-way with a T-junction barbed thingy. I expect you could quite easily do the same with HS11 brakes. They're the ideal system for generic barbed fittings too as they run at far lower pressures than disc brakes, according to Magura.
As for me, BS90 hosing is not playing nicely with these barbs... I think I'll have to admit defeat and just order the right stuff. I've tried with both a Jagwire seating tool and malletin'. Ach well!

Cheers Phil, it's actually as much for trike cargo bikes, so having two levers would be a bit of a nightmare knowing our customers (one of whom uses it to transport a £200k Cello around London!). The bikes that come on these trikes seem terrible Bengal things, so we're trying to sort out a better solution. Hope ones would be nice for the disabled customer, but perhaps a bit overkill for someone with one hand who would probably get catapulted off the bike if they applied 8 cylinders of braking power all at once!
