adjustable span brake levers

[akendall1966]

Hi

Anyone know if the adjustable span brake lever from sprint manufacturing http://www.triumphparts.gbr.cc/10442/in ... h=&sought= works with a steamer, or can suggest another option.

I have pushed the bars forward and rotated the controls levers as the brake reservoir was catching the fairing on full lock. Which has had the positive effect of making the riding position comfortable for me and put the mirrors is a position where I actually see the road not my elbows.

Down side is as the brake lever is pointing slightly up which I find a little unnatural, I am hoping if I run a lever that sits a bit closer to the bar I will have my perfect set up.

Thoughts....

I thought about those myself, but somebody has fitted "alternative" bars and some kind of adjsutable levers to mine already. His extended mirrors are worth it, I fitted them, they actually look a very like early R100 mirrors.

Give him a call, very helpfull and knowledgable gent, he will probably be able to tell you.

I am running 1998 triumph Sprint RS adjustable levers on my 97 steamer and they fit great.  They do not offer alot of adjustment but with a little file work on the adjuster pin you can get the lever where you want it.

Ha -thats great I have just bid on a 97 sprint master cyl / lever assy on ebay for the lever. Hope it stays cheap enough though.

Well I won the master cylinder for 99p on ebay got round to swapping the lever yesterday. I found the shoulder bolt that forms the adjustment pivot the nut side was interfering with stock hand guard. A trip to the local hardware store for some M6 half nuts and bit of file work to reduce the thread length by ~2mm is enough for it to clear. took a bit off the pin the adjuster cam bears on too so position 4 is a comfortable two finger grab now :D
