tri axis handle bars

[Grayfox]

Had mine put on today. What a big change in steering and the way I sit now. Now I have to find a way to put my Garmin back on.

:agree: I love my tri-axis bars. It's some much more comfortable to ride now, especially long distances.

 

[Jim&Teresa]

They're great!

I've had my tri axis handlebars on a few months now on our 2014 RT Limited. No more neck and upper back pain ! They made a difference for me and I'm glad I installed them. Took 2 of us about 5 hours, but got the job done!

You need to buy a "special" tri axis bracket for your garmin....it's a lot of money for a small part - ugh! Too bad they could not figure out how you could use of the original bracket!

Congrats on getting those tri axis handlebars....you will love 'em! :thumbup:

GPS mount

I too have installed these bars and love them...

I put my GPS on the JT's Machine Shop/Spyder accessories mount, JT is a sponsor on SL home page,take a look...Now you can look at your GPS without taking your eyes off the road...A simple mount that most anyone can install if you can use a screwdriver...

No; they don't. :shocked:
Helibars are completely adjustable... :thumbup:

GREAT video!! :clap:

I will be doing mine today myself and will video the entire process (except some of the simple panel removals as there are plenty of videos on that.

FYI a key video for installing these is this video.

It gets you to the point of top fairing removal!
After that your on your own installing the handlebars. This is where I will show the details.

Stay tuned and wish me luck doing this job!

Here's to hoping for successful surgery! :cheers: :thumbup:

 

[cuznjohn]

wow it is a really big job to do. that ends that idea

 

[Buggy]

How much shop time would it take for a dealer to do the job?

 

[iSpyder123]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing it.
I like a bunch of Shawns videos, this one is great!

 

[cuznjohn]

if i had a garage i would make it a winter project but i work in a limited space so i would never attempt it

 

[finless]

Job is done! Not too bad really just lots of screws

Video at 11:00.........

Well maybe not tonight at 11:00 but soon.
Resting up now.

FYI, total time including video taking is about 4 hours. Took 5 1/2 total time with breaks.

Tri Axis handlebars

That's what I did and also highly recommend it. :thumbup:

I had mine put on about 2 weeks ago with a new GPS mount made to work with the new handlebars. They both work great...

 

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

That's what I did and also highly recommend it. :thumbup:

Make a bracket of some sort to bolt to the GPS cradle and bolt it to the HB using a 6 mm screw into the mount. I'm on the road but will take a pic and post it sometime. I did to hold my Spot unit.
