Ah yes Charlie, forgot about the good old American regulations, which in a
lot of ways, provide for greatness in this country.... and the need for lots
of lawyers! Thanks, Bob

Probably was a combination of USDOT regulations and customer request. I
believe all of the V700s and "A" series Ambos had left foot brake stock.

| Bob, Left foot on the brake? Is your bike setup with left brake and right shift.

People "see" a flashing brake light better than a steady-state brake light. I do this even when I am driving a car. Bob Hawkes |
