Stock bars adjustment

[Excoastie]

Is it possible to rotate the stock handlebars? I am trying to get the bars to come towards me by about half of an inch. For the distance that I want, I don't think the risers are worth the expense.

'21 RTL everything is bone stock.

I have a 2017 F3T. I installed 1" spacers in the handle bar clamp. This raised the bars by 1/2" and brought the bars closer to me by 3/4".
Cost $17.65 for the bolts and spacers from BoltDepot.com.
PM me for the parts list if needed.

Loosen the 4 Allen Head bolts you will be able to rotate the bars to you about 1/2 " . Tighten

Tighten to 28 lb/ft. Tighten each bolt gradually, in an X pattern.

Thanks everyone! Good to know.

I will work on that as soon as we have a day where it's not raining. I am starting to get webbed feet!

The only thing keeping you from additional rotation is a hole in the bars that aligns with a pin in the base of the bar clamp. I would think you could drill an additional hole in a new location and rotate even further.

It would be easier, an cleaner to just remove the pin like I did.

The pin on the bar clamp is preventing me from rotating the bars. It appears that I can either shave off the pin, drill a new hole, or buy a riser kit.

I will be going with the riser kit, I do not feel good about shaving off the pin or drilling new holes.

Thanks for the help everyone!

You will still have a limited up and down rotation with a riser unless you remove the pin.
If you torque to spec - 28 lb/ft - the bar is clamped so tight that it will not move.

I did a Lamont riser a couple of weeks ago for a lady. Works great! Excellent piece of kit; well made, looks great. She’s happy! She had the same problem. Fixed it!
Did the adjustable riser in Washington. Very nice, too!

I added the riser from Lamonster for my wife's RT and she really likes it.
