Making this swap on different year Spyders
Hi,
Interested in making this swap on my 2011 RSS with bars from a 2011 RT. You seemed to indicate it may not work for earlier model years... It that definitely the case ?? Any insight appreciated ! Thanks

I just replaced my 2015 RTS bars with the Tri Axes bars. I would sell them. They are black.

Hi IGETAROUND,
I'm contemplating to do the same to improve the ride position.
Please advice what are the parts I need to replace my 13 ST Limited handle bar to RT handle bar.
Thanks in advance...Cheers

Sorry for the long delay, this just popped up today!!! Hopefully you have done the swap, if not the things that you will need different is the covers that fit underneath the bars and keep all the wiring covered. Make sure that you order the covers for the SE as they are configured differently than those for the SM. All the other parts are interchangeable from 2013 forward.

Hi IGETAROUND,
Thank you for responding.
Apologized for my ignorance, wonder is it possible for you to post the picture of the exact parts I need to get.
Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.
By the way:
Am I right to say that the items I need are:
1) Handle Carbon Black cover with small black cap in the bottom of the center cover.
2) LH Steering cover for SE5 (semi auto transmission)
3) RH Steering cover
4) And required screws & bolts
Hear from you soon...Cheers

Looks like you have it covered; on line Green manuals will give you the exploded view pictures you need. Good luck on your swap. Pictures when it's done!!

Figure ~ 3 hours the first time, the second would probably be about an hour

Is it a direct swop without removing other parts besides the handle bar cover and handle controls?
Saw a YouTube video on a RT changed to a Tri Axis handle bar, very complicated.

RISERS - CUSTOM ?????

My dealer custom made the 3" risers and I got one set free for beta testing and the other for installation time only. They worked for me. Dealer no longer has them for sale.
I'm surprised they " custom made " them. I was in the same position as you in 09 and I bought Snowmobile risers and used those .... worked great ...... Your dealer does have snowmobiles - ?????? ...... Mike
