• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage.

Spyder F3 Handlebars - does anyone know the Roll Pin Size? Anyone got a set of OE Bars they could measure?

Hi Guys,
A few years ago I fitted handlebar risers to my 2021 F3-S to make the riding position more comfortable, I noticed the OE bottom part of the handlebar clamp has roll pins in it to locate the bars. When I fitted the riser, I noticed it didn't have the roll pins, which does mean you can adjust the handlebar position to where you want it as opposed to the pre-set position of the OE clamp base:

I want to drill the riser and fit roll pins because, due to my disability, I sometimes press on the bars when I get on, and as there are no 'serrated" lines where it clamps, they will move. I know the clamp is tight, as I torqued it.
Does anyone know the size of the roll pins that are in the OE lower clamp? I am asking because my Spyder has not been stripped yet, so I don't know. I wondered if anyone had a set of OE handlebars that they could measure the roll pins holes for me?

Measured off a 2015 F3-S stock handlebar. I did not check if 2015 and 2021 part #’s are the same. Just knew I had a “new” set of take-off bars in a box. Used what I could find to measure - pardon the mixture of metric and US standard…

Hole is slotted - a 6mm hex key fits, but really tight. A 7/32” hex key is a little loose, and a 1/4” hex key won’t quite fit. Slot length is roughly 3/8” long.

I added a 1-1/4" riser to my 2026 S2S. There's a locating pin on the riser for the bars, but they can still be rotated through about 5 degrees when not tightened. This angle allowed me to reposition the angle of the bars enough to make the turn signal thumb switch easier to find without looking.

When I torqued the clamp bolts to the specification according to the kit, there is no way on this earth they would move back or forwards without enough pressure to probably bend the bars first and that's with no serrations. I don't know what torque you used, but in my fitment there was no way anything was going to slip and rotate.
