How to Install: Triumph Short Anodized Brake Levers

Here's a quick video on how to install the Triumph Anodized Brake Levers. I'm installing them on my 2014 Triumph Street Triple R.

Thanks, Scotty. I had trouble removing my clutch lever and couldn’t figure it out. Your video showed me the way. Much appreciated!

[@CDR1969]

Scotty...thank you so much for posting this video...as a non-mechanical rider I was able to switch out the brake levers on one of our bikes with absolutely no issues...feeling pretty great about that...thanks.

[@scottytriple869]

CDR1969 I'm really glad the video was able to get you out there working on your bike!

[@ohkfilms]

I wish I had seen this video sooner. I broke my oem clutch lever and ordered an aftermarket oem style off eBay. I thought that was the easiest repair I had a shot with doing myself. Turns out I could have bought that style lever and would have been doable even for the not so Mechanically inclined. Regardless, this video was really great and helpful for my repair. Thank you!!

[@kingdaniel69]

That's great, I need to change a broken lever and it looks pretty simple.

[@markmasztal2253]

Nice videos, well presented, great visuals and music.

[@th3r3n3g4d3]

Appreciate the video! Got a '15 StripleR and just got the levers delivered. This will make the install a breeze

[@roxic1212]

Thanks Scotty, I'm going to use this for sure. other suggestions would be heated grips, or bar-end mirrors or exhaust install.

[@scottytriple869]

Glad I could be of some help Roxic12! Hmm, heated grips could be a good one, although I don't often ride when it's that cold, usually that means snow here. Bar end mirrors will be a definite yes. Exhaust install... now that's an interesting one I haven't thought of. I have the Arrow exhaust on it now, so I'd have to swap the stocker back on, or wait until I get bored with the Arrow and get something else... Maybe a full exhaust install? I've thought of doing one for removing the header to have it powder coated.... Thanks for the suggestions and support!

[@ninoellison7793]

Stunning lighting and camera work Scotty. Incredibly helpful clip, and a feast for the eyes. Exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks!

[@areibu]

You have the most in depth and detailed instructional videos on KZbin by far. Can you do a video showing the airfilter by any chance? Btw lol you sound just like ownage pranks

[@cherrieblossoms]

Hey Scotty! Another amazing, professional video! When are you going to get paid for Triumph for it lol, it's just SO well done. I can just picture all the shots you had to set up to do each step.... very dedicated and well communicated steps! I have these same levers and I did shoot us putting them on, but I don't think I'll ever post it. Kudos!

[@scottytriple869]

Thanks so much cherrieblossoms! I really appreciate the feedback! I'd love for triumph to pick up on my videos, I just hope they would be up to their standards! I'll actually be working for a Triumph dealer in the near future so hopefully I'll get some support there. I have a lot of fun making these and would love to be able to do this kind of thing for a living. But for now I'll just do it for fun and get some practice. I'll hopefully be doing some motovlog style videos once the snow melts, so stay tuned for those! I also have a few more videos in the works that will be posted in the next few weeks. One of them is for an amazing tail light modulator that is SUPER easy to install, so watch for that one. You'll love it!

[@bizzmotovlogs6]

taken delivery of my lever's today,well exited and there so sooo light eh Scotty,blimey I couldn't believe it!!

[@scottytriple869]

Good to hear Bizz! You will love them! They are a great addition to the triple!

[@mainemceachern1521]

Great vids man, many thanks - it really sped up my swapping in new levers today on my ST.

[@topstimbo]

Great work! That's a really well made video.

[@scottytriple869]

Thanks for the comment topstimbo! I really appreciate it!

[@jonasvaccaro7606]

Great video ! The pivot collar in my old clutch lever is stuck. I have tried to spray oil, and even to knock it out. Any idea to how to get it loose?

[@dizzyjw]

What happened to this guy? Would love to see more videos.. High quality stuff.. Triumph should hire you to do how to instructions on all their accessories and post them.

[@benderb.rodriguez9573]

Nice video, and extremely helpful. I also wrench on my bike (2005 XB12Scg), but now have a new bike (2015 ST3 R) and it's nice to find people contributing their knowledge. Keep it up! I hope to start posting my own for my ST3 R, and will try to match your quailty of video. :) Cheers!

[@ullr1159]

Well done video, very professional! A set of these are in my future.

[@GarySimmons]

Really great video...

[@bizzmotovlogs6]

Fantastic Vid's Scotty!....been on my 2013 triple R for nearly six months now,total LOVE it has to be said lol,really happy I stumbled upon your video's as there seams to be literaly zero on our bikes!! im about to order the exact shorty levers and also the passenger hand grips/rails,soon after the anodised res's!! Was thinking of going with none triumph parts as costs seam to be quite a bit lower that way but really wanna keep her 100% triumph ya know?! Anyow,..nice one bro...SUBBED!!

[@brycecounts3168]

do you need a torque wrench to tighten the bolt on the bottom? or could I do this with a smaller ratchet?

[@c.a.i.o]

Hi, i´m from Perú, i like those brake and cluch levers, qhere can i buy this, i know there are two version, long and short, both fix in my Street Triple 675R 2016? thanks.

[@masonic777]

AWESOME VID BRO!!! I HAVE AN IDEA, FOR THOSE OF US WITH OLDER TRIPLES, LIKE '07 MODELS, HOW ABOUT A VIDEO TO ADD A FUEL GAUGE, AFTER MARKET POSSIBLY IF TRIUMPH DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY.. (DO NOT KNOW IF POSSIBLE???)

[@amg409]

Which part number this lever is? I ordered one and it did not have the slot for the brake switch.

[@mohamedzamir5815]

Very detailed, when you posting your next video's?

[@scottnisbet5979]

Most informative many thanks, great video! 👍

[@TheMrWaby]

Great videos! I may be wrong, but I think you are the only one doing these types for the current gen STR. Looking forward to more. Could you please do some maintenance ones like chain adjustment and oil change? Thanks and Subscribed!

[@scottytriple869]

Thanks Mr-Waby, I know of a few others that have done one off how-to's, but there isn't very many doing a regular set of them. It's what inspired me to start! I plan to do a chain maintenance video which will include adjustment, cleaning, lubricating, and methodology of when I clean/lube my chain. I also plan to do a comprehensive motorcycle washing/detailing video as well. It will showcase many of the products I've picked up and a few tips and tricks. Unfortunately both of these videos require a somewhat dirty bike (to show the cleaning process) and some nicer weather. Both of which won't happen for a few more weeks at least here in Canada. So stay tuned!

[@john9810]

can you show me how change air filter please please

[@TwentyTwo22]

Hey Scotty, do you know where can I get that pin?

[@mediavirtu4699]

Hey Scott, another great production here! I gotta second the motion for a video on heated grips install if you can find use for it.

[@scottytriple869]

Thanks TriplePrime! I'll see what I can do!

[@cjwagner]

Your videos are really well done.

[@scottytriple869]

cjwagner Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback! I plan on doing a bunch more once I get my hands on some new goodies. Stay posted!

[@GreasyBelcher]

Did followed this all the way through... until putting the clutch level back on. Just went for a ride and realised I’ve not put the pin / sleeve back into the new clutch level. It was loose. Now I know it’s an easy fix, just watch the last 30 seconds 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@R3nat002]

are you still doing videos?

[@stones117]

What did you need the pliers for?

[@pinkysjams6372]

Lovely video! How much more range do they give you? I have smaller hands so I'm wondering if it will make the levers a bit closer than the stock ones.

[@jonathanl984]

Great video, Scotty! Big thanks! Just one question though - I'm in Canada as well but was wondering what kind of grease did you use and where did you buy it?

[@stefanmelo]

Why did you take your gloves off to put grease!!!??? XD

[@edwardreid1597]

whatever happened to scotty triple??

[@16rich1958]

Nice work! I have a 2012 bonneville. Would the brakes levers you purchased work on my bike?

[@DaMaX74]

Could I use Putoline White Action Grease instead of the Castrol Red Rubber Grease?

[@bullpups4life189]

Any reason white lithium grease wouldn't work?

[@jasonstevens4838]

Awesome video Scotty thanks man

[@southerncanuckian8785]

great videos! where in Canada are you? I'm down in Ontario. Been meaning to put pazzo's on my bike just haven't gotten around to it!

[@MJP3055]

Would NEVER use vice grips on that cable nut. Would cause cosmetic damage.

[@HypnoticPattern]

this is SO. GOOD. your video is pro quality. my tiger thanks you. rawr

[@corneliocapronidelatesta5094]

well done good explanation

[@Luque956]

Perfect! Kimd was in a bind butttttt I found this vid and saved me :)) lol thanx!!!!!

[@scottytriple869]

+Migster L Glad I could help you out Migster!

[@nicholasc1188]

This saved me a trip to the local bike shop after some dick canoe knocked my Bonnie over. Thank for the fantastic instructional.

[@arcticaA18]

Nice mate.

[@user-sv6qq8tp9x]

thanks dude much appreciated

[@agentry880]

Great video!

[@SClown86]

Great video, Cheers

[@brnohero3]

Great video.

[@khizarvlogs]

where do you buy these?

[@DaMaX74]

Great video once again. Could you do a video about installing a 12V (usb) plug for mobile devices or trickle charger? Thnx 👍😉.

[@scottytriple869]

Thanks! Where where you thinking of installing one? My bike came from the dealer with a trickle charger adapter cord already bolted to the battery. I just picked up a usb adapter for that and leave the plug hanging out from the seat. I then run a usb cable from the plug to my tail pack and charge my phone in there. I don't use any sort of electronics up by my handlebars. But I may pick up a GPS for touring this season.

[@DaMaX74]

Great! I was thinking of the same. Using it with an usb afapter for charging the phone or other devices. Also leading a cable to the handlebar for GPS/phone. And.... for trickle charging the battery during winterseasons.

[@DaMaX74]

ScottyTriple Now I trickle charge with a -/+ clamps. But I want to avoid that the clamps will "click" off from one of the two battery poles.

[@scottytriple869]

***** Yup, I tricklecharge mine with the bolt on adapter. Mine came with the adapter from the dealership (they must have installed one). My tricklecharger also came with one that I use when the battery is out of the bike. But like you said, they clip on ones can come off so I still use the bolt on ones even when the battery isn't installed int he bike.

[@piyathatt]

Hey scott are you going to change those mirror? if you do im looking forward to the vids!

[@scottytriple869]

I plan to replace them with the Triumph bar end mirrors here pretty soon, stay tuned!

[@stephenkada]

ScottyTriple Great videos! Have just ordered myself a little tin of grease and when it arrives i'll be riding to my dealer to get some levers!!! Cannot wait for the bar end mirrors video, they're next on my list shortly followed by the reservoirs :) Keep up the great work!

[@KevOzY]

👍🙂

[@MichaelHopkins93]

great video is your bike lowered?

[@scottytriple869]

michael hopkins Nope! Stock height all the way. Stock seat and stock suspension.

[@hawkeyefire6208]

Don’t fit them you have less leverage, they are just for show. The video is very well done though if you want them.

[@JimmySlacksack]

why dont they just make these the stock levers ?? I know i know money....
