They come in two configurations, it's the casting that defines how it needs to be fitted.
So the cable line will run above or below wheel spindle height.
They'll only go on one way.
I have one of each orientation on my two twins but I've no idea how they came out of the factory gate and I've probably had both versions on both bikes over the years.
