Front Brake Orientation

I'm finishing up a 73 250 WR for this year's AHRMA CC season.

Not being super familiar with vintage Huskys I installed the front wheel with the brake pull on the left side instead of the right side (the forks allow it to go together on either side).

The way I have it seems to protect the brake arm by the fork tube versus being in front of the fork tube if mounted with the brake arm on the right side.

The wheel is centered and the brake seems to work fine.

Do you guys see any issue with this setup?

Husky mounted on the other side. But I also set up my 76 360CR I once owned with the front brake plate on the left side also and another benefit to mounting on the left is the cable makes a gentler bend and works smoother/easier.

Thanks Marty - I had the same thought.

As long as you dont stuff the brake arm in the dirt going through a deep rut

Yeah, that's a good point. The right side orientation does raise the arm a bit...

Doesn't matter which side the mount the brake on. The brake arm is still the same distance to the ground. I guess it would be depending on if you are in a left or right hand corner
