Handle bar of the GT on a Rocket 3 R

[johnseva]

Hi all... thinking about changing handle bar in my 3 R. Not exactly due to posture but regarding arm to much extended ( I´m 5`8" or 1,70 m) specially in low speed turning to the right, too difficult to handle friction zone on the clutch with the arm fully extended... does it make sense or common feeling to someone? Thanks...

I have the GT bars on my R with the GT seat and for me it’s bob on.

I have been thinking about the same GT bars on my R.
Reblx136,
what did you have to change for the GT handle bars to work?
hydraulic clutch / break lines, electrical cables, etc. ?
Thanks,

Hi, what was it like with the stock R seat? What height are you?

for me it was a little uncomfortable with the GT Bars and R seat, the r seat pushes you forward and with out the shorter bars make for a weird position. I’m 5”10’.

I bought the GT bars plus fitting kit which includes both lines.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like I may have to purchase both the bars and seat...i probably should've purchased the GT and fitted mid pegs lol.

That was my first option and ordered the GT but the delivery date kept moving forward a month at a time so I changed my order to the R and fitted the heated grips GT seat and Bars. It’s an expensive way to do it but I’m not very patient and I’d already sold my previous Rocket.
