DescriptionThe whole story▼

This is the brake side for the 2008 to 2016 R6, the generation before the final restyling. It is a bike with genuinely good brakes and a riding position that rotates the wrist further forward than almost anything else of its era.

Key Features

  • Phosphated pivot seat, free of play from new
  • CNC-machined from solid aluminium, black anodised
  • Milled Gilles face for a secure gloved grip
  • Bolts to the original master cylinder without adapters
  • Reach adjustable through 35 positions, set by hand
  • Road legal in Germany under ABE No. KBA 91203

Construction

Cut from solid aluminium, bearing bore treated in a separate step, finished black. Free of slop from new, which on a machine now well over a decade old is an immediate improvement on the part being replaced.

Wrist Angle Over Hand Size

Reach adjustment is usually discussed in terms of hand size. On an R6 the dominant factor is the wrist, rolled so far forward that the effective reach lengthens regardless of whose hand it is.

Which Years

Model years 2008 to 2016. The 2017-onward R6 uses a different reference from the FXL range, so the fitment line below is the one to check.

Road Approval

Carries ABE No. KBA 91203 for use on German public roads. Print it, keep it with the registration documents, and leave the engineered break point in the blade exactly as supplied.

Scope of Delivery

Supplied as a single brake lever in black, ready to fit. The original pivot hardware is reused, so nothing is discarded and the standard lever can go back on at any time.
