It doesn't make any difference which way you hook it up. Which ever way looks like it will work the best on that particular bike. I use the dual brake levers on all my bikes now.

Either way will work just fine. The only question is about function and looks. I wouldn't build a motor bike without a dual brake lever.

If you look closely you will see that one of the pulls engages slightly before the other. I think it is the one closest to the rider. I like to set it up so the rear brake engages first. Good luck!

On mine the cables are one on top of the other. They pull at the same time. I keep front and back brakes real tight, I like to stop when I pull hard on 'em.

Both types pull both cables evenly. Adjust them how you like for your comfort; I'm a m/c guy so I like 60/40% (approx) fr/rear respectively!
