Recently I bought a set of chrome "Joker Machine" clutch and brake levers for my '16 Tri Glide. An email form them confirmed the ones I bought were supposed to fit but they were wrong. The place I purchased them from also confirmed these were the right ones. The brake lever from Joker Machine is below.
The one from my bike is below.
They're not even close. Has anybody else run into a fitment problem switching out the levers?
Oh! and I'm not bitchin', I was refunded my money.
Nope, never thought of doing that.
I hope you can return them.
Yes I was able to return them for a refund, but every brand shows similar ones to the above. Even Harley's own site. But mine look nothing like the one pictured. Can't figure this one out.
I did some research on this when I wanted black levers for my 14. I found that HD sold chrome ones for a trike but no black. A lot of companies sold black for touring models but they do not work for the left hand clutch lever as the trike has a different lever style due to a switch activation nub. I finally found Oberon levers in black that are adjustable and they work great.
