Does a Handlebar Riser exist for a 2012 RTS?

Hello! First post.

Does a handlebar riser exist for the 2012 RTS? I’m 6‘0“ tall and I want the handlebars further back. I bought one of those gel seat cushions and now I’m leaning forward.

I installed those floating highway pegs so I can stretch out a little. I also have a seat that doesn’t have a slot for the rider back rest and my lower back gets uncomfortable because I’m slouching when using the gel seat cushion. Is there anything I can do to make the ride more comfortable or should I just shop for a new Spyder? I’m rather fond of the tricycle that I have right now.

I believe your only option is the OEM Can Am tri-axis handlebar riser kit.

https://utpr.com/ Utopia makes backrests for the Spyder. You might want to contact them and see if they still make backrests for the 2012 RT. In 2013, I bought one from them for my 2013 RT Limited. I would think the backrest itself would be very similar, just the mounting bracket would be different. On that generation seat, you have to cut the seat to install it. Other than the thought of cutting your seat, the install was very easy. Also, finding aftermarket parts for an almost 14 year old Spyder might prove to be a little difficult.
