Adjustable Handlebars ...
I've ordered the adjustable handlebars for my 2012 RT-S and they're due to arrive at my Can-Am dealership in August. How many of you have them installed and think they're great? I'm beginning to second guess myself on the purchase.

Please don't second guess yourself. Sure they're expensive when you include the labor costs, but I think you'll be well pleased with your purchase. I feel so much better riding with them and I think you will, too.

Why delivery in August? Amazon shows them in stock at a pretty good price with 2nd day air shipping.....

I really like them on my '14. It's much more comfortable to ryde all day than before I had them.

When I rode all day I used to get stiff muscles in my neck and shoulder blade area from not having the proper distance from the bars and me. Now that I have the adjustable bars I have them in a perfect location (closer to me) and I don't have that problem any more. I asked my servicing dealer if he would match Amazon's price and he did ! I'm very happy I had them installed !

I have them and I also have the Comfort Seat and I am pretty sure that without the handlebars I would have had a hard time. On my old Spyders, with just the stock seat, I would sometimes get shoulder pain after a long day of riding and I don't get that now with the Tri Axis bars. My only wish is that they could be adjusted just a little more.

I understand your quandary as I'm going through the same thing. With my new RT, my body is more upright than on my old GS which is great, however my arms seem to be up higher and more spread out. It's a lot of $$$ on one hand, but if riding comfort is vastly improved then it's well worth it. My RT is in the shop for some warranty work, so I decided to take the plunge and get the Tri Axis bars installed while it was there - excited!!!!!!

They make all the difference in the world in stabilizing the bike.

RT GPS & Tri Axis
Just a quick follow up question - will the stock RT Limited GPS mount attach to the tri axis bars or do you need a different GPS mount?

The stock one will not fit. BRP makes one just for the Tri axis bars.#210400408
