Pretty cool.  Had to double take at the front brakes being on the opposite side of stock.  Kind weird over there.  I have a K8 myself, yours looks like 77 or 78 there.

Well its not on the wrong side, but the fork lowers have been turned around and swapped sides so you have a leading instead of trailing brake.  Its on the front left of the fork when its set up in stock configuration.

And, I saw you asked about my rearsets.  After looking at all the options I just decided to make my own mounts since most of the brackets for the K7 look like crap.
