I have seen the speigler versions for around $250 and don't want to pay that much. I really don't like the reach to the levers or their bulk. Would like to find an adjustable replacement that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

First, a thread here on the subject: Link
A kit for the 2012 T-Bird: Link
And levers from JR (they list Rocket models, don't know if Rocket fits the T-Bird, but they might): Link

The link above for the 2012 part is the only one that shows it fitting the modern TBird. I checked out a lot of other OEM suppliers with these part numbers and they only show the first gen Tbird. Wondering if it really fits the new TBird. Willing to give it a shot for this price.

You might cross reference front master cylinder part numbers between the Rocket and the T-Bird to see if same assembly was used on both bikes. I know the reservoir cover is the same as I have a Rocket cover on my 1600.
From my fav supplier, 2WheelPros (these guys use OEM part numbers) - 1600 Front master cylinder assembly = T2028000
Link
2010/2012 Rocket Touring master cylinder assembly = T2028000 is a match
2010 Rocket Roadster master cylinder assembly = T2026100
2012 Rocket Roadster master cylinder assembly = T2021121

(Re: tri650) | | | I'm think about updating to adjustable clutch/brake levers on my 2010 T-Bird, and it appears that there is none out there. If anyone knows of any outlet/store in which I can order from, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

If you don't need too much, try bending them in. Obviously you need to "feel" where the "too far" point is before breaking them, but if they don't work for you the way they are, you have little to lose.
(I bent mine in a bit and they're just right.)

(Re: VABird) | | | I measured the distance from the tip of the clutch lever to the center of the handlebar grip, and then the brake lever to handlebar and found the brake side lever is 1/2 inch closer. Anyway I bent the clutch lever 1/4 inch closer and stopped, nerves was telling me it might brake. LOL.
