    My dealer ordered them for me, but you can order direct from here:

    Hello,
    I am considering a 2018 F3 S that has stock handlebars.
    Lady rode in with 2017 F3 S with short reach handlebars.
    What I difference.
    With stock bars I had problems seeing the mirrors with the short reach bars it felt better and was able to see mirrors.
    I am a standard 5'9" person.
    Try all you can before you buy.

    Default The original bars and the short reach. The original are the shorter ones.

    I just installed my new short reach bars and went on a 150 mile ride. They are super easy to install, took about 35 minutes to install (hardest part was getting the bolts loose, man are they tight.), and are really adjustable to how high or how low you want them.
    Man, what a difference it made. I have a mustang seat, and I was finally able to sit back and use the backrest! These handle bars are the best comfort improvement I’ve made on my F3 Limited yet!!

If you grind off the pin, you may find that the bars will shift sometime in the future - not a good thing...
    Why not elongate the holes in the bars ??
