    I would see if dealer has a bike with one on, so you can see if it a benefit . Or if you know of someone who does! If you are short armed or short , it does give you the opportunity , to bring the Handel bars closer to you and you can raise them about about 1 or 2 in. (Can't remember)
    If your unit has a Garmin installed it requires a longer harness . I have them on my 2013 LTD and really didn't need them .

    Default Don't know..!!

    But agree, see who has them so you can feel them out. If your not comfortable with the set up you have and have ryden for some time then it might be worth it. And worth it will depend on how you modify your ryde...

    Friend of mine just bought a 2014 RTL with the Tri Axis bars. He really likes them. He said in the normal setting he was ok but he moved them back two notches and he said it was much more comfortable. He also just bought a 2013 RTS for his wife with the bars. Going to get them installed on my wife's 2010 RTS next week.

    Worth every penny! Lets you set the bars exactly where you want them. Big problem is the cost getting them installed unless your handy with tools. I did mine myself and took me about 6 hours or so with no manual.
    Sold my 14 RTS went back to 2 wheels.

    Default I like them

    Had the black tri-axis installed when I bought my 2014 RTS. I have short fingers and like that I'm able to adjust them to fit my reach. They also allow you to adjust your seating position.

    I put them on my 2014 RT-Ltd and think they're worth the investment.
    Anything that makes the ride a little more comfortable is worth it...

    Default I Have them

    I have them and would not give them up. My hands were not making full contact with the handles until I adjusted them inward. I adjusted the height so it was more comfortable. I think I adjusted 2 or 3 times and now it is perfect. Makes handling easier.

    Question to those who have them, or know about them from someone who does:

    Have you found a good place to adjust them to and them don't adjust them again? Or do you periodically adjust them for how you feel, how you're riding, conditions, etc.?
