RT to RS handle bar swap

[IGETAROUND]

Is it a direct swop without removing other parts besides the handle bar cover and handle controls?
Saw a YouTube video on a RT changed to a Tri Axis handle bar, very complicated.

Yes just the handle bars, get yourself a manual

We added 3" risers to the bars on both the 2008 and 2009 GS/RS versions. The crotch rocket position got real old, real fast. There were no risers in those days except for the factory 1.5 inch ones--and IMO--they did not help much. My dealer custom made the 3" risers and I got one set free for beta testing and the other for installation time only. They worked for me. Dealer no longer has them for sale.

I'm surprised they " custom made " them. I was in the same position as you in 09 and I bought Snowmobile risers and used those .... worked great ...... Your dealer does have snowmobiles - ?????? ...... Mike :thumbup:

Finally installed RT handlebar.
After changing RT handlebar, now I'm able to sit all the way back to the end of the driver seat and comfortably reaching the handle grip.
Thank you JP58 for selling me your RT handle bar and
Thank you IGETAROUND once again for clearing my doubts.

Looking forward for more enjoyable miles to come..Cheers
