Anyone think this will fit our bikes? It's made for something else, like a speed tripple or something.

Only the lever, not the master cylinder obviously. Not gonna look too much different.

i do not know if it will fit.
but the 07's have adjustable levers.
So wait till you get to GA and ask the first 07 owner
you see to let you try and switch levers for a test fit.

Ask? Just wait till after a few beers and switch it. It'll take them a while to remember.

That would require me to actually go to GA... If I send a stock lever down, can someone do the switch for me? How much do adjustable levers go for from Triumph anyway?

Well it says it will fit a Rocket too. In fact it says it'll fit almost every triumph model... And I remember remarking to myself when I rode the Rocket that the controls were the same.

The lever will not work on the older Bonnie...... America......... Speedmaster. I have that master sitting in my garage, and wanted to put the lever on my 05. doesnt work. You can buy adjustable lever for the America. Part number A9628015 and should retail for about 45 duckets

I was thinking I bet there's a part number somewhere....the speedie in Oz had adjustables on both levers.

03 America - Pretty stock - except the TBS wheel... 
06 America - missing, presumed in bits. With it's TBS wheel...
09 America - It's very blue....

The lever you have on the master cyl in the pic is part number T2025401 which fits the thruxton, speed triple, T-100, and the new America and Speedmaster.
Don't know what has changed, but it wouldn't fit my Bonnie black. I'll take a look tomorrow at the shop and see what's up with it.

Thanks for checking! If it's just a little filing or time with the dremel, it may be worth it. We'll see.

I bought my Speedmaster used. Both sides have adjustable levers like shown at the top, but without the resevoir.
I thought they were stock? Maybe not. Whatever they are, they're a great feature.

Just did a quick look see, and all the sizes seem to match up. I'll know better later this week when I have time to actually get out there with wrenches. Nifty piece of kit that lever

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I wasn't thinking, I have an accounting business and forgot what weekend it was.
It's a perfect fit, I just got back from the office where my bikes are. I took an 04 Thruxton adjustable brake lever I had replaced and installed it on my 03 America. The lever was bent but not in a place that effected it working fine. It got bent in my back yard, I replaced it because it look like cr-p and I didn't want anyone to know I was stupid enough to park on grass.
Sorry again for the delay,
Mac

Nope. All I did was clean up the area, and wipe a very thin coat of grease on the head of the master cylinder pushrod and around the shank of the pivot bolt. This is actually an aftermarket lever aparently. A pazzo unit, that aparently makes a lot of OEM levers for lots of bike companies. Sounds like levers are one of those things where you could get a replacement from a generic bike shop no problem. Somewherei n cyber space there is probably a pazzo fitment chart.

Distance from the lever to the handlebar. I find 4, the farthest, works for me.
