Hehehe, actually... That's exactly where I mounted my horns, one on each side... Figured more idiots come at me from the sides then from in front of me... (That, and the engine hangers make a great mounting spot.)

それはホーンです。

That's "It's the horn" in Japanese.  I assume the petcock is on the reverse side because they drive on the wrong side of the road...  Grin

What would road side have to do with petcock placement. My XS11 had pecocks on both sides, maybe it was bilingual.

Im not going to lie, reverse would be more than a little handy sometimes.  I have a rock driveway.  Some times backing out of the garage thought the rocks flat sucks....
