Most usually say right and left based on sitting on the bike.

So a low side in a right turn is laying the bike down on its right side, and vice versa.

right blinker is right side and left blinker is left side whether you are sitting frontwards backwards or on your head.

not being a smart ass but long ago that is how it was explained to me.

Wise ass!

Customer: I need a part to my bike.
Counter Clerk: Which winker is it?

C: Aren't winkers all the same? Just give me a front winker.
CC: Well, mirror mirror on the wall, I give you a left winker for the right side, the bottom of the finish won't look like the top of the winker as you know it.

C: Well, how do I know my right from my left?
CC: Like the wise guy said, sit on the bike like normal, you now call left is your #1 piston if they call out which cylinder is needed to do things in the shop manual.

C: So you think buy the time I get all the crap I need off line, I break even with the shipping?
CC: Depends on how far the dealer is. Keep the local dealer in business is the better deal for the both of you.

What color is your bike? A guy is selling a full used set at a good price! Send me a PM if you are interested.
If not Ron Ayers got the best prices I have seen for new stuff.

At least you seem to be ok, that is the most important.

If I get my right and left mixed up sometimes, then how do you expect me to keep my sprocket and brake straight?
