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.

They're the best thing I've added to my RT. For long days ryding, my shoulders really appreciate them.

I have to echo ann on that, I am tall as well and I find them adjusted a bit different than position of the standard bars, my wife is short and that's a completely different setting. We will put them on her spyder next year when we get it, so no matter who drives everybody is happy.

Have to show my ignorance here.
What is different about them? Looking at the first picture I don't notice much difference. Are they adjusted back toward the rider more?
I am only5'8" and fit the ST fairly comfortably (I think). Please fill in the gaps.

Factory says it is a 2-1/2 hour job

How much closer can they bring the bars to you?

Thanks
Thank you all
I've just had the tri-axis bars installed On my st ltd and all I can say is WOW
i can now sit in the right place and have as much bend in my elbows as I like, it adjusts beautifully.
still have to install the zumo 660 gps - the extra gps mount for the tri axis says it is for zumo 590 and I think they use a different mount. Clues welcome.
Again, thanks to all who posted about these bars on an ST, very much appreciated, and yet another example of just how helpful this forum is.

I mounted a standard garmin on my tri axis. Just drilled a hole
Iin the suction cup on the window mount and mounted it in the screw hole under the rubber cap on the top of the bars. Save guite a few hundred dollars. Was able to use a bolt that wasn't needed from reinstall of thr tri axis bars. Looks good, not hacked.

Thanks for the GPS info. In the end we got the angle grinder to the old mount, drilled a hole, and its all good. Cheers

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.

Tri Axis Bars.
I recently fitted a set of these bars to my 2016 RT Ltd and found them to be the cure for my aching shoulders. The only thing I found to be a problem is that because I raised the rear jacking screw nearly as high as it would go, all the switches on the bars are now out of reach of my thumbs. I will have to make some slots in the bar clamps so that I can rotate the switch assemblies back to a more comfortable position.

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!!!

yes, I was told by my dealer it would cost $230 plus for the gps adapter. Well, I dealt with Chuck from Smith Marine USA in New Britain, PA and he sold me the tri axis bars about $200 less than my dealer quoted the gps adapter for less than $50 saving me about $175 on that. I have saved a total of over $2000.00 by dealing with Chuck ans his beother Jack. I highly recommend them
