Anyone tried Handlebar weights on 2024 RT?

[KW1M]

Anyone tried adding handlebar weights to a 2024 RT (I have a S2S but assume same bars on all 2024 RT)?

Looking at these ShowChrome weights: https://www.canamspyderaccessories.com/show-chrome-handlebar-end-weights-for-spyder-2013-and-up-color-option/

But finding instructions online that say remove old end caps with a 5mm allen wrench -- the opening on 2024 is much larger so not sure if it's a misprint or a redesign from 2023/earlier... Example -- remove the shallow endcap with a large socket/wrench, put aside and then install with screws provided?

Thanks, Martin

I used them on my 2008 GS. Purchased from BRP as one of their early accessories. Did not need them on the next six Spyders. I don't have a good answer for current use. :bowdown:

I have those on a 2022 RT. I basically added them as a newbie thinking I wanted a little extra length for big hands but left them anyway because I liked the look. Site says 2013 and up, so seems like they should work fine on yours.

I believe I read something about the 2024 bars being a different size than the previous 2020 thru 2023, that the spyder cuffs on previous RT's didn't fit on the new 2024 handle bars. :dontknow: Bill

And Martin, the bar end caps for the 2024 have a new and different part number than the others. I suspect that when they say 2013 and up, that they haven't updated that info for awhile. Maybe foam grip covers will give you what you want.

Thanks all.

I tried those leather like grip puppies. Too big. Went to standard foam grip puppies and fit great!

RESOLVED - 2024 Handlebar endcaps are different from 2023/earlier...

Decided to take off the existing 2024 handlebar endcap to see what's behind it - needed a 3/8" hex.

Pictures of the endcap - no way an existing endcap will screw into the existing endcap or into the hole if you remove the existing one.

We'll need to wait for suppliers to design a new weight based on this large screw/thread.

Hopefully save some folks ordering and returning...

Happy Saturday, Martin
