DescriptionThe whole story▼

Suzuki's 776cc twin arrived with a chassis and brakes developed around it rather than inherited from something else, and the GSX-8T dresses that package in retro bodywork. The hardware is modern even where the styling is not, and it deserves a modern control.

Key Features

  • Central adjuster wheel, reachable from the riding position
  • Folding blade that swings clear instead of snapping off
  • Engineered break point inside the two-finger zone
  • Phosphated pivot seat, free of play from new
  • CNC-machined from solid aluminium, black anodised
  • Road legal in Germany under ABE No. KBA 91203

Finish

Billet aluminium, bored and phosphated at the pivot, anodised black with nothing on it but the milled Gilles face. On a bike whose appeal is a coherent look, the lever should read as part of the cockpit.

Modern Brakes Under Old Clothes

The 8T's front brake is a current design with current feel, which rewards a rider who can meter it finely. Fine metering is a function of where the blade sits, and the standard position is a compromise built for an average hand.

Thirty-Five Steps

Set by a wheel inside the lever body, turned by hand, held without a lock nut. Shallow enough that a single step is a perceptible change rather than a jump between compromises.

Road Approval

Approved for German roads under ABE No. KBA 91203. Print the downloadable certificate and carry it with the vehicle papers; no entry or inspection is needed.

Scope of Delivery

A single black brake lever for the GSX-8T. The clutch side is the FXCL-26.
