Which one do you prefer? was created by les holt
I'm working on designing rearsets for the KZ's, I have 2 different ways of doing the master cylinder location and looking for opinions on which one everyone prefers. Input appreciated!

Option 1, pointing forward

Option 2, pointing rearward along frame

My own vote is for num. 2

#2 for sure. It follows the natural frame line and blends in nicely. #1 sticks out since it runs counter to the frame tube. Just my .02

#2. Running parallel to the frame makes it look like it was engineered for the bike rather than an add-on. Ed

Also depends on where the attachment for the push rod is located on the brake lever.
The GSXR bracket I used had the MC mounted.

I've got this, but it's only on this bike, not enough time to tell what the long term life is going to be.
