• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage.

Can I do a Tri Axis handlebar swap from a 2014 RT to a 2015 RT & vice versa?

Does anyone know if the handlebars can be swapped from a 2014 RT SE6 to a 2015 RT SM6 and vice-versa. I want to swap the bars between the two Spyders. Before I go to the trouble of finding out on my own, I want to see if anyone knows the answer.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, since they're the same part, why are you wanting to swap them?
 
Handlebars for 2010 thru 2019 RT are interchangeable. BUT swapping TriAxis bars from one bike to another is a LOT of labor and not much cheaper than just buying a new set of bars.
 
The 2015 does not have Tri-Axis bars. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

If I do the labor, then there is no cost. Yes, I know it is a big job, but not impossible.

True that, but as jcthorne pointed out, if you buy a set of Tri-Axis bars (if they are still available?) then do a 'simple' (yeah, right!! :rolleyes: ) 'remove and refit' job on the 2015, it is a...

BIIIIG JOB and a LOT of time & labour!! nojoke


On the other hand, to take the Tri-Axis bars off the 2014; take the original bars off the 2015; fit the Tri-Axis bars to the 2015; then finally fit the '15's original bars onto the '14, is doubling up on everything, and that makes doing it that way a...

MAAAASSIIIIVVVE JOB!! :yikes:


Even people who truly love doing things like that AND are being paid to do it often really baulk at doing JUST the 'remove original bars & fit Tri-Axis' job on just ONE Spyder; and unless you're planning on scrapping the 2014 without any bars on it, then you're doubling the job facing you; so those in the know are just trying to point out the scope of the task facing you, and maybe also ask in a somewhat incredulous voice,

"Are you really aware of what you're letting yourself in for?" :dontknow:

Just Sayin' :rolleyes: But it is your time & effort, sooo... :cheers:




(Altho I hafta add that it'd be so much simpler to get that message across if I was only posting for Ozzies - far fewer words would be necessary, just 3 would cover it nicely and everyone would know exactly what I was conveying, but here on this site with this much wider audience, using even one of those 3 words would see me chastised severely; and I have few doubts about what using 2 of them at once would bring smashing down upon me! :opps: )
 
On the underside of the Tri Axis bars the plastic covers for the 2014 SE6 is different than the covers needed for the 2015 SM6. If you don't have the covers for the 2015 and need some, ask around here maybe someone might have a set. The Tri axis bar comes with both sets SM6 & SE6 covers so someone may have a set on the shelf taking up space.
