Is BRP the only place to buy Tri-axis handlebars? And advice &/or installation tips welcome!

[Snakeyes]

I think it is time to bite the bullet and invest in these handlebars. After a four day trip which we rode "The back of the Dragon", "The Snake" and "The tail of the Dragon" my neck and shoulders were killing me. Now, I love my Spyder - but it is not designed to cover that many twisties and turns in that short of a period. Is BRP the only place to purchase these handlebars? I have also read that the installation is a bit tricky - but doable? Any advice is welcome!

Google found several places that have them listed for sale.

As for the installation, the CAN-AM website for the bars has a link to the Adobe Acrobat PDF file for the installation instructions.
Only you can decide if it's too complex for you... but, looking at the first step of the install, it says you have to disassemble major sections of your bike:

Vehicle Preparation
Refer to appropriate SHOP MANUAL and remove the following parts:
- Wind deflectors
- Mirrors
- Service covers
- Upper side panels
- Acoustic panels
- Middle side panels
- Front fascia
- Central panel
- Headlight adjustment cables
- Front storage compartment lock
Disconnect the console module harness connectors.
Models Equipped with GPS Navigation System
- Remove RH side panel
- Disconnect GPS harness.
All Models
With the help of an assistant, remove the console module.

It all depends on you seating and arm length. The tri axis can help but does have limitations.

True, but for the 2010 to 2019 RT's, there's not really too much else available in the way of alternatives - dog-bone risers for the handgrips only might be easier to fit & substantially cheaper to buy, maybe; but they won't really change your too much, especially not your wrist angle, just the bar/handgrip height and reach. And I'm pretty sure you hafta go a/mkt & just search until you find some that work on Spyders these days, IIRC, there's no longer anyone making/selling anything specifically for Spyders.
