Good call! The triggers have a nice clean classic look. I think you would have gotten tired of the flames some day. Besides, that kind of billet stuffmight start tolook quite dated in the years to come. JMO

Ok...another question...for you people who have the triggers on your bikes...Do they make it easier/more comfortable to use the clutch? I am getting arthritis in my hands and sometimes my hand hurts when pulling on the clutch, seeing as how I am left handed and my left hand hurts more than the right...It sucks getting old! Anyways just wondering....

Yes, it does suck to get old...but the alternative sucks even worse!

I don't have triggers but have spoken with 'older' men who like them for the reasons you've inquired.

Ride safe.

JMO but, I think most of the folks that will tell you to get the triggers and that theyreally likethem as I do, do so more from a feel than a looks point of view.
The trigger gives you more or better leverage than conventional levers, it take no time to adjust to.
They will always be at the top of my todo list on any future bikes.

I have the trigger on my rk custom... I love them...I find it easier to pull the lever, in fact, I seldom need to use more than my index fingers to pull the levers in....

got triggers on my UC and really like them. put the silouette levers on my WG and they give it a bit different look, although they don't give the same leverage and ease of operation that the triggers do.
