Re: Replacing controls on the GT triples.
That looks nice. I've been thinking I should do something similar with my T500. My left wrist is usually sore by the end of the day. Looking to do something which gives me a touch more mechanical leverage.
Merry Christmas to you.

Re: Replacing controls on the GT triples.
I've done something similar on my gt380. I got a set of billet perches with dogleg levers. I have yet to see if the more modern larger bore master cylinder make a great feeling brake, but combined with a slightly more modern caliper I am hopeful.
But it felt it was necessary as my little fingers are not long enough for the standard levers.
