    Hello, I recently bought an America Lt but find levers too far away from bars so looking for levers that are nearer to bars, any ideas?

    Have a look on ebay for adjustable levers, there are 2 sizes, short levers or long. I would think small are best for you.

    My personal advice would be to try to find span adjustable levers of the same or similar length as the originals.

    These perhaps?

    Triumph AMERICA/LT (2006-2016), CNC levers long black/red adjusters, F14/T333 | eBay

    These are cranked levers with span adjustment - two features that SHOULD bring the lever back closer to the bars whilst retaining the full effect of the longer arm.

    I (personally) would avoid short levers (even span adjustable) as you will need to use more "lever pull" for the same level of braking effect - for obvious reasons - and that might not be what you want on a cruiser style bike.
