As an avid motorcyclist myself, I might switch my bikes to front brake right side orientation. I know I am using the rear brake too much and the front not enough on the bicycle. In an emergency, I would be better off with the motorcycle orientation.

Of course, the left side hand lever on a motorcycle is the clutch, so there still is a significant difference in the two braking systems. Most motorcyclists will pull in the clutch while braking, but they do not modulate the lever action.

I might try that on my next project.


thanks!
