    Default 2018 F3 with short reach handlebars in/near Prescott

    Anyone in or around Prescott with this configuration. I would like to see if this fits me better than the stock setup.

    Thx
    Rick

    Does short reach mean they come closer to the rider?

    Yes ..
    shorter reach = closer
    longer reach = further

    We have the "short reach" bars on both of our F3's. And yes, that means the reach is SHORTER for the driver and the bars themselves are LONGER.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    My arms must be longer because I'm finding my torso leans back - not comfortable. So I need "long reach" bars. I want to stick with the stock look, so does anyone know if BRP offers such a bar for my '17 F3L?

    A huge thanks to buttersmooth, wo saw my posts and is sending to me his take-off bars from his 2020 RT. They are supposed to be shorter than the ones on my bike. Fingers crossed.

    I live in Prescott off Willow Creek Rd and have a 2021 RTL S2S. Just ordered the adjustable handle bar riser kit from "Lamonster". Has shims to adjust for 3 different positions. Supposed to also fit 2018 f3.
    Wont ship till 5/5. Be glad to let you come by and see how that works for you when it arrives. Maybe start a spyder group here.
