I have fitted mine upside down on the LH side, it offers more protection to the lever (and my knee) if there is an incident....

It looks tidy and the lever is angled towards my thumb.

As stated, I would try both sides to see which suites you best.

right o - it was the buying it I was thinking about - if it's comfortable upside down then fine.

Depending on your controls and how much space you have, you might be able to mount it upside down i.e. control underneath the bar - I can't as I have my shifters inboard of my brakes and things just fowl up as I have them spaced apart.

The space between brake and shifter is the perfect distance for the clamp to fit in, but the cabling prevents it going upside down as the shifter is in the way.

So I've mounted the right hand lever the right way up, in between shifter and brake.

Seems to do the job...I think underneath the bar would be 'better' but the other bar equipment prevents it from being possible on my bar.

nice one - cheers for that. I've gone for the right hand mount one, but I'll have a fiddle with it.

I'm so boom gnarly i don't need brakes anyway. 😉

Try it on left under the bar beside your left shifter. Protects The leaver and is I think easier to use. If you have the occasional comedy off definitely put it under the bar

considered who its from, shouldn't you be mounting it on the left somewhere near the index finger?

Left, under the bar between the grip and shifter pod... I figured that I would probably be using the front brake and didn't want to have to push a button at the same time with the right hand... seems to work fine and protects the remote..
