    wich one have you got as they make some for the left and some for the right.

    hi nicklouse
    i dont quite know it came with toro 318 u-turn
    the bike shop that fiited it put it on the right side ,but when you look at it the rockshox logo its upside down,
    to me i think its left sided,only when i change it ,it interferes with the shifter,

    Mine sits on the left, inside the gear shifter and brake lever and hangs on the underside of the bars. To lock out the forks, push the lever up. When the release button is pressed, the lever drops down.

    hi tank -slapper
    ive now put it on left side ,but cannot get it to sit underneath bars like your set up ,i have to have it sat on top ,shifters are stopping the fit like yours

    maybe it is a RH pop lock.

    There is a bump on the upper side of the poploc that hits against the shifter. This should seat on one side of the shifter or the other. Mine seats below.
