    Smile BRP adjustable handlebar

    Has anyone installed one of these, (219401046) on their 2020 or 2021 spyders? Trying to decide between the short reach handlebar or the adjustable handlebar. I'm 5' 6" so any info appreciated. Thanks, Jim

    The adjustable "handlebar" is actually an adjustable riser. Flip the lever and you can move the bars up/back as much as 2". At 5'6", I'd suggest short reach bars. They're cheaper and easier to find. If you look in the For Sale section, someone may even be selling them cheap.

    I have the adjustable kit on the '21. I like the adjustability it provides as it allows one to lean back into a backrest on long trips. Conversely, moving them forward allows for more maneuverability in the city. Turning corners or rapid lane changes .Another advantage being the adjustment screw on the Can Am backrest becomes one of set and forget.

    I am 5-7 and have the short reach bars. Totally happy I installed them myself in less than an hour and it is a game changer for me. I was at the point where I couldn’t ride 30 miles and I would get a pain on top of my spine that was unbearable.
