Hi, If I was to buy a bike in Indonesia, what would the brake orientation on the bars be?
EU back brake on right or UK back brake on left?

What side of the road do they drive on? The back brake will (should) be on that side

Pretty much the rest of the the world runs them euro/us style.
They did in Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos.
Malaysia, UK style I think (due to being a UK colony)

OTOH they drive on the left (just looked it up) so may be UK style?

It's easy enough to swap the hoses.

Can't say definitively for Indonesia, but Malaysia and Singapore normally use what I (as an American) call "normal" - ie US/Continental - brake setups, while having RHD cars. I would expect Indo to be similar.

From memory and having ridden in a number of countries, the only places I can think of that use "UK-style" brakes are Japan and Australia. I'm sure there's others, but I haven't come across them.
