WTB or Swap short reach bars for long reach bars
I guess I got confused between the short reach handlebar and the long reach ones. I have a set of short reach handlebars, only used once to try out of my 2017 F3 Limited and found out I really needed the long reach handlebars. So if anybody out there was confused like I was and bought the wrong bars maybe we can do a swap or I will buy a set of long reach handlebars. I have the black bars and I would only swap for the black long reach. Thanks

I'm confused also about the terminology of the bars. Are the "short reach" shorter for those with long arms or want to lean forward? Are the "long reach" for those of us with short arms, or those that want to sit straighter? Or vice versa?
I'm asking because I'm buying a used F3T Saturday without ever seeing it. I'm a short arm guy and might want something other than stock...whatever they are!

Long reach = longer reach. They are lower/further away than stock.
Short reach = closer reach.

You would maybe need the short reach handlebars.

I'll know tomorrow by time I ride it 150 mi home. If I do need the short bars, and you haven't traded, perhaps I can buy yours.

There's a third set of bars out there called 'attitude bars', I think that is what I need on my my 2020 RTL. I have the long OEMs, the shorts, now I must wait to try the attitude, but the $ slows me down a bit. I suppose my OEM long reach bars are for sale since they just sit on the shelf. The short reach are a bit close but I can live with them.

Who sells the Attitude Bars? BRP or a vendor?
Found this which explains it well:

Roger that, glad you were able to access. I thought there were some listed on Amazon, but I was unable to find them.

Please let me know how your ride home was. What handlebars are on your bike?

Forgot to ask prev owner what bars were on the F3T! I'm guessing whatever it came with originally, but not sure. I need them to extend back 2 to 3 inches.
I also know I have to get shorter brake arms as the brake pedal is way too high. I need it to lay down much further.
Will prob go to local dealer one day this week and should be able to tell what bars are on it, plus get the pedal adjusted.

Lamonster makes a brake rod that will lower your brake pedal down some. The F3's come from the factory with the pegs or floorboards at position #3. You have 5 choices to relocate your floorboards from #1 being the closest to the rider to position #5 which is the furtherest away from the rider. After you determine which position is favorable to you then order the brake pedal lower rod from Lamonster.
