Guys I received an email from Scooterboy (great guy by the way) last night to discuss this and here is the message I replied with..
Hahaha..yeah no need to argue. I have several bikes with clutch band brakes, set up several different ways. Some set up the traditional way as you have described below and several set up with the band either upside down or even cocked.
I do understand what you guys are trying to say in that the clutch is traveling in the direction the band is closing...on the "traditional setup".
In fact I can honestly say, I prefer it setup with the band upside down or slightly cocked with the band still closing opposite of the "traditional" way.
The reason...with the band closing in the direction the clutch is traveling, it has a VERY strong tendency to simply close up quickly...The result is virtually no adjustment or "fine tuning".
Mounted the opposite way, and using a brake lever with adjustment capability the brake can be fine tuned very nicely.
I know it seems a bit ass backwards, but honestly I really don't think there is a right or wrong way. I do know I REALLY like this particular brake setup and I have a REALLY easy way to mount one to a Tec H35,H40 or HS40, if you would ever like to try it.
Hope it makes sense and will help clarify my opinion a bit.
