bknsaddle Posted April 29, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 29, 2010 New to the site and RSTD. Great info on this site. Barons folks tell me the riser extension will not work on a RSTD. Has anyone used this extension on a RSTD? Is there another option for creating a more comfortable handlebar position? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard was it to change out the handlebars? Got an email from Baron that said they were working on a Starbar for the RSTD and it should be ready in about a month.

TDbiker Posted April 30, 2010 Share #5 Posted April 30, 2010 Need to get different handlebars. Flanders 650-08783 is what I have on mine. What he said. Over the winter I put these bars on my 2005 RSTD. Not extremely difficult, but I did have to re-route some of the electrical lines. Didn't have to change any of the brake/clutch lines. In any case, the change was worth it. The new position is much more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brake, clutch, both throttles, cruise control. You will lose your stock end weights unless you figure out a way to keep them (I did). You have to drill a small hole for the throttle grip.
