Tiger 800 Recommend Folding Levers Please

Can anyone recommend the best folding levers for a Triumph Tiger XRT 2018 model please to replace standard OEM fitting levers? Cheers

 

Never looked for ones for the tiger but gave some cheapie Chinese ones on my thruxton which have worked well for the last 3 years, I’ll try and find my post about them

 

Just be careful which ones you fit as I believe some levers don’t operate the clutch switch or something like that resulting in the bike not starting.

 

Thanks

 

Thanks will do

 

Look for the ones with the brash bushes fitted. They seem to be the better of the one's.

 

Brash being scotch for brass

 

These look like the ones I got

 

Or the fuel gauge working!

 

How on earth do you know that Steve

 

I know stuff Dave! Apparently, the fuel gauge can be affected by the action of the clutch lever as its the same circuit that the riding modes run through so it also impacts on the gauge. When you fill up, the gauge continues to read empty unless the new lever is actuating the sensor on the clutch.

 

You clever boy

But what about the Tigers Pre mode models

 

I bought mine off a seller from China on eBay. Cost about 15 quid delivered. Well made and built. 6 levels of span adjustment. There are loads on eBay to fit your bike, just don't fall into the trap of paying double for the same items. See the same as i have ranged from £12 to £70.

 

Just as an update I bought vtech folding ones, put them on and after a few days use decided to go back to Originals as they are easier to use, feel more substantial and generally better in my opinion, therefore wasted me money again, hey ho, lesson learned.

 

That was quick! Hope you didn’t pay too much

 

Did you buy the short or length adjustable leavers?

 

I got them from a friend who wasn’t using them but still had to pay £50 so not cheap, but hey ho we live and learn.

 

Long ones
