For the calipers included with the # K2R35D Kodiak Disc Brake kit, the calipers are not side-specific. The incudes calipers actually feature 2 bleeder valves, so you'll regardless of what side you install it on, there will be a bleeder valve at the top as is proper. For calipers that only feature one bleeder valve, you'd install those so the bleeder valve is at 12:00.

I've linked to an install video for the # K2R35D kit.
