RT handlebars

[MMcc]

Does anyone have a idea on how to bring the handlebars on the RT back a small amount? My friend just installed the Utopia backrest and agrees it is the best. But now the bars on his 2010 are just slightly out of reach. Backrest is adjusted forward but would like any suggestions on how to move the bars back just a little.

They're a non-adjustable deal... :gaah:

There's no aftermarket solution for moving the bars back. Best off moving the backrest forward.

That is one thing of the thing I dislike about the RT. I wish I could adjust the bars up 4" to 6" any ideas?

I wish could move forward a few inches, handle bars hit my legs when making a sharp turn. At one time I may have dreamed this but I thought I saw some one on here about a year ago, they was trying to make a block to bolt under the bars to offset them some what...

I thought that Chris56 was working on something maybe... :dontknow:

I heard that the 2012 handlebars may be an inch or two closer together - can anyone confirm this? I checked the parts catalog and there are different part numbers between the 2011 and 2012 Lt and Rt Handlebars. I would love to have mine a little closer together.

I hadn't heard that...:shocked: If you can find a dealer who's got the 2011 & 2012 parts, a visual confirmation could be done...:thumbup:
