I seem to recall reading about someone who fitted an adjustable clutch lever from a Sprint ST on to a Tiger. Can anyone comment on wheather this is a straight bolt on item or will I need to make modifications?

Thanks.

Robbie is your man on thatg one, he has fitted one, beacuse he has gotr damaged hands after a crash a while back. But i think he has had to make some mods to fit it. He has junked the hand guards in favour of barkbusters so the lever fits.

Hi 03

as Jim has said i have a busted up hand and needed to reduce the span of the lever. I don't think the sprint has an adjustable lever my 2000 didn't. my solution was to fit the lever and clamp from a Kawasaki 750 the lever is adjustable for span and is also hinged. the hinge also helps me as i tend to pull the lever funny.
the down side of this route is that the hand guards will not fit and the clutch switch.
the hand guards where not a problem for me as i wanted to change them to bark buster type anyway.
i didn't fit a clutch switch just shorted the wiring not a big problem if you are in the habit of pulling the clutch in when starting but splicing the wires would be easy.

if you do find a solution then please let me know as the kawa lever is not perfect, better than stock for me.

there is a photo in the tiger album at the top of the page

Thanks guys. Hadn't thought about shorting the switch but that seem as easy as anything.
