7 position chinese brake levers

Here are the ones I bought. Once I got over a bit of numptiness they worked fine and still are!
Have you put the bushes in from old levers?
Post a link to the ones you bought.

 

I know it's a bit obvious but you did get them for the right bike? It sounds like the bit that pushes the "plunger"!?! In is probably not the right shape, have you checked the shape side by side with your original?

 

I know I'll get some flak for this.......could you try drilling then tapping a screw into it to extend the plunger pusher? I know I'm going to regret suggesting that

 

This sounds horrible to me. For what they cost, chuck em in the bin and buy from someone else, these do not fit your bike. Bodge jobs on braking system is a no-no !!!

I'm all for cheap chinese brake levers, had them on my SV650 and GSXR750, no problems whatsoever.

Is there a daytona forum, ask on there to see who bought what? Not all chintax levers are the same quality, look for the ones with brass fittings, usually a sign of better quality.

 

whatever you do forget the superglue idea. it will fail sometime and could potentially put you in serious danger of brake failure just when you dont need it. I am sure there are correct fitment ones out there,maybe even a pair from a different bike may fit. Try triumphrat site, (sorry to be suggesting this again) as they have dedicated forums for your bike and may be able to suggest something if you cannot see on ebay etc

 

Please don't do this - either you or someone else will regret it when your brakes go wrong with a bodge job - and they WILL.

Chuck these levers in the bin.

 

well I must admit I do agree with everyone, you can't bodge brakes, and I feel such a tw^t for suggesting it, anyway my disc was squeeking the other day so I oiled it!!

 

Have to agree with the comments above - you cannot afford to take any chances with the brakes.
After a lot of research I have just replaced the standard 4 position levers levers on the Tiger with shorter, 6 position levers. They are probably Taiwanese but came from a UK supplier and were marketed specifically for the bike model and year (they're already doing them for the Bonneville T120 and the Street Twin) and the quality and fit is faultless.
The fact that the adjuster is blue and matches the bike had nothing to do with it - but see crispeys "never leave it unlocked" thread!

 

Any link at all Steve - I'm finding my T100 levers a bit of a stretch.

 

No problem: These are the ones I got but you should find T100 ones in there somewhere.
