Second post on this thread. I remember thinking it was very cool.

BK:
I'm right handed and had my button on left because of the brake handle. It didn't take long to get used to. I mocked up a button on the brake handle but it didn't feel comfortable to me. It's what ever works for you.

I would think that the best spot would be on the brake handle . It would seem more natural of a motion to let go of the button and the brake handle at the same time . I would also think that a foot operated switch would be very slow on reaction times .

coupemerc:
Whatever works for you is the right answer. My button is on the top of the brake handle under my thumb. When it is time to go...I simply let go of the brake handle. It's totally natural for me and is the same motion that I used to go through when driving the old clutch car.
