j98sprint is correct in pointing out which side of the bike you are working from. There is also another factor. Since the adjustment is made through the concentric cam chain adjuster, the axle is not in the center of the rotating mechanism. If the axle is in the bottom half of the travel (ie 3 to 9), you would turn in one direction. If it's in the top half (9 to 3), you turn in the opposite direction.
If the axle is in the 6 o'clock you can lower the rear of the bike by about an inch and a half by rotating it to the 12 o'clock position and vice versa. I have a Sprint Sports, so my axle starts at the 6 o'clock position, it increases the ground clearance, steepens the steering angle, and quickens the stearing (sort of like dropping the tripple clamps on the fork tubes, but without loss od ground clearance).
I suspect the Trophies, Tridents, and Sprints started in the bottom half of the adjustment, while the original Daytonas, Speed Triples, and Sprint Sports started in the top half of their adjustment due to their more sport oriented market.
