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

Attachment rearsetoption1.jpg not found

Option 2, pointing rearward along frame

Attachment possiblepaintscheme.jpg not found

My own vote is for num. 2

It follows the natural frame line and blends in nicely. #1 sticks out since it runs counter to the frame tube.
