The risk
A dimensional error on the front brake levers may cause the brake lever blade to contact the handlebar grip before maximum brake performance is achieved. This may lead to longer overall stopping distances in an emergency braking situation, increasing the risk of a crash.
Product: Aftermarket brake lever assembly for Triumph Thruxton, Triumph Street Twin, Triumph Bonneville T120 and Triumph Bonneville T120 Black Motorcycles.
