'13 Handle Bar Setback

[Asdgirl]

I've seen plenty of options for the older model RS' but NOTHING for mine. I have found risers (like this one for example, http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Spyder.../dp/B0035QDIG4) but no set-backs. I get excited that I've found something only to find out that they don't make them for a 2013.

Someone please help! I had spinal fusion surgery in May and just did a 1,000 mile 2.5 day trip and am left with burning shoulders, shoulder blades and tingling and numb fingers because I no longer sit in the same position I used. Now, my reach is too short and I need the bars brought closer to me. I plan to add a 1" riser any way but that's only going to fix a small percentage of my problem.

I'm headed out for a week long trip in 20 days and I'm not going to make it if I can't find something to help.

THANK YOU!

IMHO the 2013+ RS has the best options for nice clean bar risers in that both ST and RT OEM bars bolt right up.

HI, Asdgirl.....I fitted Custom Dynamics Ezy Risers to a 2013 ST....as the 2013 RS/RSS have the simmilar style handle bars these should fit...they can be rotated back to bring the hand grips up to 4-1/2in closer to the rider...
Follow the links below, and go with the comments on #7 in the second link from (spyderfish) and you cant go wrong.....

....That riser that you posted @ Amazon will do NOTHING to solve your issue ....period........" DREW'S " suggestion will..............but I also saw a Thread recently where someone added " ESI Risers " to a 13 RS .....Mike

Well, I have a set of ST bars, and a set of RT bars that I will be selling. Both are black. I put a set of Tri-Axis bars on my wife's ST Limited, and I don't need these anymore. $100 each plus shipping. Shipping to the US may be expensive though.

So those will bolt right up? Any gotchas to be aware of?

Just a thought, if you are coming down to SPYDERQUEST you can probably ship to Ga. for less money from NY !!!!......Mike

They just took time to put on. The only thing that was a pain was putting the screws back in on the skirt on the bottom of the bars.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel going to Spyderquest because of some large unexpected purchases this summer.

bscrive, I will take those ST bars. Sent you a pm last night. Thanks

Thanks bscrive for the ST bars. They are a night and day difference.
Now I have no pressure on my wrist, arms, and back.
Riding no longer aggravates my carpel tunnel.
Now I understand you RT type cruiser guys; never wanted to go more than 50 miles before.
Now I'm ready for a real road trip. ST bars and ST seat on my 14RS is a great combo.
Next mod is to lower (2") and move my floorboards forward 2 inches.
Now I will keep this RS till it's out of warranty April 2018

I am glad that they worked out for you.

Tri-Axis said their risers wouldn't work on a ST. My wife has a 2014 ST and I want to put them on. Were there any special problems that you ran into?
Thanks Ken.
