No clutch operation

Went away for the weekend with the trusted TTSE 2013
Before I went my checks showed both brake and clutch fluid present
Still have brake fluid but clutch reservoir empty and a dead clutch lever, completed the journey carefully changing gears by judging revs.
Do I need a Clutch Slave Cylinder Replacement Seal Kit to remedy my No clutch issue
No DTCs present at this time
No fluids on ground where I was parked last night
Would it be a good or a bad idea to top up clutch fluid in the hope of making it to the garage with a working clutch. Any thoughts???

That's what I would do.
Make sure you bleed the clutch. Check out this for guidance:

Keep us posted on what the ultimate cause & remedy are.
Topping up fluid & bleeding the clutch may get you to the shop or, it may just show you where the problem lies.
Either way, a good move...

Hey, redcap, most likely the clutch fluid dumped into the crankcase. So, probably a bad idea to top up the clutch fluid - it'll probably just follow the rest into the crankcase. A few of us of had this issue. My dealer, at the time, thoroughly flushed the engine oil and replaced the filter. I believe he used a seal kit to resolve the issue. I haven't had any problems with it since.
I had no initial warning, it just happened - pulled in the clutch coming to a stop and... nothing! I was only a few hundred yards from home so I rode it in. The dealer came and picked it up on a flatbed. All costs were covered under an extended warranty.
If you use some variant of "clutch leak" or "clutch failure" in the search window, you'll probably get quite a few hits.
The following link is an early write-up by John384, which probably explains things better. But again, there are quite a few entries on this subject.

Had the same issue about 10 months ago. Broken seal & the other bad news was the ball bearing end of the slave cylinder was flattened so a new seal kit would be ruined had I just replaced it. Take out the clutch slave first and examine it. if it is flattened replace with a new cylinder or get a good used one on ebay like I did for 30 bucks! I keep a spare with me and a seal kit now. I'm learning.

I'd say that the majority of the bikes that I've had had a cable operated clutch, wish that the Trophy did too for this reason.
How doable is fitting a new seal at the side of the road? Apart from carrying the seal and fluid, any special size tools needed??
I bet you need more than what's in the standard tool kit pouch? Lol
I have added certain tools to deal with a broken gear lever pivot bolt.
