brake and clutch levers

Post by Doctor T »

Can anyone tell me if the GS 07-10 levers are the same for a RT 07-10? Have they the same part number?

The other clue could be, look at the differences in the brake and clutch fluid reservoirs between the GS and RT.

Will do. Never really looked at a GS in detail due to my little legs.

Have a play on this Doc -

http://cycle-ergo.com/


It allows comparisons between various bikes as regards to seat height, seated leg length, body position and more. It may at least give you an indication of what may fit you, although things like seat width may also affect the rides ability to touch both feet on the ground.
