is it me or is it kinda hard to brake with your right hand on the throttle? I'm always turning the twist as i try it so I have only been using rear brake on my NE5.
curious what others think
 
not realy i let the throttle close and i brake its not bad if you dont like it why not put the clutch there?

A right hand brake lever is the standard for motorcycles so it
is second nature to a motorcycle rider.
 
Yeah, my bike is setup like this: left bar is clutch lever and headlight switch, right bar is front brake (drum)and throttle, and rear brake is foot (coaster). Its easy, just let off the throttle before applying the brakes.
 
maybe its these wide bars then holdng me out too far making it seem uncomfortable...Ive ridden bikes before too and never noticed.
 
I've always run my front brake on the right bar with the throttle. It's just second nature to roll off the power and squeeze the brake lever. Same with the manal clutch and rear brake on the left bar. After some miles you won't even think about it. It'll feel natural.
