moving rear brake to left side
I have searched but with no luck. Is there a DIY on how to move the rear brake to the left side to show off the right side of the wheel? I have seen it on softails but not sure how to do it.

Not sure how it could be done nor have I ever seen one with left side brake, Thinking the pulley for the belt drive might interfere with it.
on a show only bike I guess you could just remove it period...

Why would you do that? You'd have to re arrange the shifter.

He means move the caliper and disk, not the pedal.

I've seen some setups where the rear sprocket and the brake disk were the same piece, leaving the other side open. Can't remember who makes them, and don't remember if they were also available for a belt.

Exile Cycles sells a kit as well, they call it a sprotor, sprocket and rotor.
Someone else also make a kit with an inboard rotor attached to a belt pulley.
Do some research, they are out there.

There is a Breakout on here with a pulley that is also the brake disc. I will find it.
