DescriptionThe whole story▼
The small parts decide whether the big one works. That is what the FTR229 is — support bush for gear lever, and nothing more. LighTech lists it as a universal item.
Key Features
- Not tied to one model
- Universal item
- LighTech lists it separately from the lever it serves
- No approval paperwork is supplied — see the note below
- A stock LighTech item
- Replaces or completes the assembly it belongs to
One Piece of the Assembly
A bracket, a bush or a spacer is what holds a control in place. LighTech sells support bush for gear lever separately, and that is the FTR229. Made in Italy.
Before You Order
Worth knowing about the FTR229. Nothing further is in the box. A stock LighTech item, so a second one is not a special order.
Fitment and Compatibility
LighTech does not tie the FTR229 to a single machine. What decides the fit is the assembly it goes into, not the model year. The part number FTR229 is the binding reference, not the model name.
Supplied As
In the box: support bush for gear lever under FTR229. Nothing beyond the part itself is in the box.
In the Workshop
Fitting the FTR229 is hand-tool work. Set the reach before the first ride, not at the first corner. Keep the original levers as spares.
Road Approval
The manufacturer's position is that the lever range complies with the relevant road legislation. German registration documents are a separate matter, and the FTR229 has none. For a road-registered motorcycle in Germany, clarify with your inspection body whether documentation is required.
