Move Handle Bars down and Back a Inch or Two 2018 RTL???

[JimboRTS]

Hi
Any suggestions on moving the handle bars back and down a inch or two. Moving it back only would be a option. Would like to use a riser or any inexpensive way as I’m trading it this winter for a 2021 RT

Short answer, nope. The only way to move the bars on a PRE 2020 RT is to install the Tri Axis bars. About $600 for the bars and another $400 for labor. No other way to change the bars position. Sorry.

:agree:

I just installed the Tri-Axis bars a few weeks ago on my wife's '17 RT-S. Had to take a LOT of Tupperware off, so I took advantage of the situation to install a home-made bracket for the J&M CB and XM radios. Doing both at the same time made it interesting. Let's just say that I would NOT want to pay shop rates to do that job.

I think the book shows (3) hours to install Tri Axis bars. The dealerships around me seem to charge 2-2.5 hours.

took me about 6 hours for Tri Axis bars, but I was a newbie and it was the first time removing mirrors. took me forever. YMMV
