Diameter of the f3 Bars?

[bikerbillone]

As in the title, what's the diameter of the f3 bars? Getting the 'short reach' bars for my 2020 RTL so that's a vital piece of information. I assume they are the same as OEM on the RTL, so to be safe, just asking. Thanks.

The bars are the same diameter (F3 and 2020 RT) I had them on my 2020 RTL but did not like how far they came back
so I took them off and sold them. But good luck with yours and hope you like them.

I found short reach handlebars on Ebay for around $140.00. (just the bars and new hardware)
They are easy to install and will come back about 2+ inches.
Make sure you remove the caps (5mm Allen screws) first on each side. Once you remove them the grips will slide out of the handlebars.
Then loosen the 4 bolts holding the handlebars to the bike ( MAKE SURE YOU LOOSEN THE CLIPS HOLDING THE ELECTRICAL BEFORE REMOVING THE BAR and transfer those clips to the new bars.
The bar I purchased came with all new hardware!

Thank you one and all. Yeah Toby, I hope I like them, no fun spending the big bucks only to find out it doesn't work as planned.

I have the #2 position brake rod also. Just added a wider brake pedal. The combo is great for me.

I am also inseam challenged. 26/27.

Had to lower the rear on my Vulcan to touch the floor with both feet.

Arkansas, tell me where you got the wider brake pedal.

Mom forgot my Wheaties too, I always wanted to be a tall guy, but we play the cards we are dealt.

I bought that one from Spyderpops. Lamonster garage also has the same.

She tried, but I did not like them. :roflblack:

Arkansas, I see that Lamonster has the same pedal as SpyderPops, so was your install just remove a couple bolts or more complicated. Lamonster has that fits through 2019, SpyderPops says through 2020, but they look the very same.

That be me. I put them on yesterday. Fantastic! They have so many adjustments that I can not think of anyone they would not work for.

Actually, they're probably 28 mm which is just under 1-1/8". Remember, these machines are designed and built in a metric country!
