Yes I think you're right but not sure I can swap it now. I think when I ordered it I had to specify which mount ie front or back


what if you moved the disc to the right hand side and swapped the legs as well


Yea I'm going to think it over, maybe swap it round and see what it looks like, thanks for your input

Could have been specced front or rear mount if the piston sizes are different. If that's the case I wouldn't think it will work as well mounted the wrong way round. (Although it would be my preferred orientation)

So just a wee PS, its been on the road for just over a year now and I really enjoy owning and riding it. Its been totally reliable and every ride feels special. The front brake set up works very well but I sometimes think its looks a little odd. The exhaust doesnt quite look right at the back to my eyes and I may change it at some point but for now I'm just enjoying having it running and using it

It’s always a bit harder to get a 4-1 to look right with standard exhaust/footrest hangers :oh wouldn’t worry :D

Front brake looks fine and no doubt works :D :D :D
