    Default Tri-Axis Handlebars DO work.

    I have just completed the installation of the Tri-Axis Adjustable handlebars on my wife's 2014 ST LTD. There was only one slight modification necessary. The plastic shroud on the underside of the handlebars had two holes that didn't line up on the new bars. That was a two minute fix by drilling two new holes 1/4" away. It's nothing that will ever be seen either. My wife loves them!

    I'd love to have a set also. I've heard its a BIG JOB, even when done by the shop. How did it go for you? Is it something
    anyone with minimum/moderate skills might do?

    If you follow the directions it is pretty straight forward. It's still over a 6 hour installation though.

    How much closer can they bring the bars to you?

    Default Tri Axis on Spyder ST

    Hi folks,

    i need to to adjust my bars on my 2013 ST Ltd as well. Is the 2.5 hour estimate realistic for the shop to install, or did your install take longer? Even with the ultimate seat, my shoulders kill me. I need to do something, even if it is risers ...

    Thanks to all, this is such a helpful forum, and the info is so appreciated!

    When I installed them on my wife's old STL about 3 years ago, it took me about 4 hrs to do the install and I am very mechanically inclined. I did a write up about it back them. It should still be in here somewhere.

    Default Just do it!

    UPDATE: The dealer installed these for me. Three and a half hours labor (includes GPS) and such a big difference - no more shoulder pain and a much more enjoyable ride. Soooo worth having done!!!

    It is a big job. I kept the you tube video on and followed it step by step. It took me somewhat longer than the previous post. They did make all the difference in the world, got rid of the constant ache in my shoulders.

    Did you have to change the GPS mount or can you use the existing one? I see they make one that says it's "for" the tri-axis handlebars.
