I ordered a set of CRG levers for my 1050 S3.
As it turns out the same brake lever fits a bunch of other bikes. I guess several manufacturers must use the same master cylinder.
Attached photos list other manufacturers part no's. So If a 1050 (not sure about other S3's)owner needed a brake lever but couldn't get to, or didn't want to go a Triumph dealer this info might come in handy.
Edited by Dfib to show pics
Thanks Dfib, couldn't test view last night untill the photos got approved.
