Confirm Brake Levers? '07 Riii 'Touring'

[kazjim]

If it is a 2007 it is not a Touring, it is actually a Classic with bags, aka Tourer. That may help you in your search for the right part. It was a one year only model until the Touring came out in 2008.

Thanks, I'm almost certain that it has a different brake master setup on this bike than most I've seen.
RH controls are separate to the Brake Master - I've seen most with an integrated Master / controls.

Oh, and this is called a 'Touring' - Maybe an Australia thing?

Have been back out to the garage, and measured some things.

The Lever should have a 12mm pivot bolt slot . . (See pic)

And Master Cylinder has a 5/8 bore (Cast into the body underneath - couldnt get a photo)

I'm starting to think that replacing the Master might be the best option at this point.

Thank, have sent them a WhatsApp message - I'm assuming postage from Ohio to Australia will be a little silly though - thanks!

Oh yeah, your bike is definitely a Touring, its just not a 2007. The Touring model was introduced as a 2008 model. Now of course, many 2008 models were manufactured in late 2007 but all were sold as 2008 models.

You never know.......Doesn't his toilet spin the other way?.......Maybe his dealer sold one a little early.....

I suppose anything is possible. I bought mine in April and was told it was the first one sold in Phoenix. Certainly not the first one in the US, but the first dealer sightings on the forum were around February I think. Regardless, I don't think any could (or should) have been sold as 2007's.

Evidently, someone out there has a 2006 touring

Well, those look like the panniers I have fitted . . .

If it helps, this is my VIN.. SMTTLC35358336936, and my compliance is 12/2007 (Australian compliance plate - December 2007)

For those interested, these levers fit the 2007/8 Rocket iii 'touring' with the separate master cylinder and control housing (not the integrated one)
