Brake lever conversion

Has anyone tried or know of a conversion kit to change my left brake lever to the right side? I am used to riding with a manual transmission and don’t like going between a left hand brake on my quad and a clutch on my motorcycle.

Its a 2015 850 SP if it matters. Not sure if they all are like this.

front brakes 2013 sportsman 850

Question, when I put front brakes on my 2013 sportsman 850 it’s pretty simple. I tighten the allen wrench bolt until the rotors don’t turn, then I back off on the bolt until the rotors rotate freely. I have noticed that I have been going through brakes in 100 miles or less, now I have to be honest, I was buying the cheap ones that were going for about $11.00 total. I now have installed the more expensive ones that run about $50.00 and will see how this works out. Am I missing something? Am I adjusting the allen wrench bolt correctly? Thank you.

’02 Front driveshaft

Help! Hi guys, while attempting to change a-arm bushings on my 2002 sportsman 500, the driveshaft popped out of the cv joint. Should I be able to just ‘pop’ it back in (because it doesnt want to) or am i going to have to take this thing in to the dealer looking like a complete idiot?
