How do you have your brake levers set up???

[OrgasmDonor]

ive heard that rumour

[Jazzchimp]

Always two - back on the right, from the days when I ran just the back

Does that mean I swing both ways??

[CD17]

Back Brake on the Right. This is the way Iv always had them.
Does not really matter to me tho, cos when I rode a motorbike & scooter, the front brake was on the Right, but you soon get used to it whatever way round they are.

i switched my brakes in 84 when i started doing trackstands, and needed the front brake on the left.

nowadays i still run the rear on the right - i'm right handed and need most strength on the rear brake hand. it makes sense.

[black rat]

Depends if running a single (rear) or a pair of brakes (f + r)...

RHS if just running a rear brake set up.

LHS if using both front and rear brakes.

[Darkshadow]

im not botherd

[phantom photon]

The left - always has been and always will be 

[Coastvl]

I spose if you rode a motorbike as well you'd wanna make sure they were the same. High speed endo's aren't a lot of fun. been there done that. My rear brake has always been on the right.

[RADHAB]

i used to run it on the right, so yo could pull it harder with your right hand and do big skids. then orb told me off and now i run it on the left. which is better for attempting rock walk.

Why are you using brakes for Rockwalks?

[jT Racing]

left hand brake, right hand dog lead

[woodzy]

i ride back on the right and the front on the left its just how it come so i left it they way

[Holmetech]

Left for me as every bike i've had came like that from new,also i kickturn to the left and lock my rear brake while letting go with my right hand on one handers.

[woodzy]

woops left for back right for front 

[wirewheel]

rear right. no front these days, changed over 84 or around about then. never felt the need to change back, just to lose the front brake. does it matter?

[theRuler]

i switched my brakes in 1984 too.
the reason for this was trackstands - standing on the left side of the bike, and needed the front brake in the right place.

[sam hudson]

Well,although i ride my 05 Ripper with rear on the right,looking back to ye olde days,my silver streak was a left rear set up and so was my Team burner and my firebird delta2.So things have changed.
