Triumph Speedmaster 2022 - Upgraded to 12' Mini Apes and High bar cable kit

I needed more! Swapped my TC Bros 8" mini apes for their 12" mini apes, along with installing the Triumph High Bar cable and wiring kit. In this video I show a little bit about taking the old parts off, but unfortunately ran into some snags and neglected to record putting it all back together again. I hope this still provides some insight for anyone who might want to try this for themselves.

Bars: TC Bros 12" Mini Apes, 1" chrome smooth
Grips: ODI Vans Cult
Bags: Burly Brand throw-over Voyager
Windscreen: Dart Marlin

You mentioned your video wasn’t maybe as good as someone making a more professional version. I can’t tell you enough how much this video is going to help me with my conversion. You gave a very good detailed account of your process without a lot of extra nonsense bling. I for one appreciate it. Thank you

Yep, I love the 12 inch bars. In my mind the 12 inch bars make the Speedmaster look more like a classic.

Nice upgrade! I have been thinking about this upgrade for a while but still be hesitated to do it for my SM 2018. Good job!

Very cool and useful videos man. Inspired by you to own and customize a Speedmaster here in Brazil. Just reserved mine with the dealership. Keep your videos coming and maybe share with us some ride vlogs too.

Looks great! BTW, I see you attached Burly saddlebags, do they fit under the rear seat pad or did you have to modify them? Sorry to hijack the thread! 👍🍻

Hey Dave I was curious about how much shorter the triumph mini ape is compared to what you installed. You said that you discovered the triumph mini was shorter. Im in the process of trying to figure out handlebars Im a short man to but older with arthritis. If you had to do it over again would you have used the triumph Minis ? great videos.

Nice install, question…. Where did you get your windscreen

[garrywalton]

Really great Vid and as you say we didn't need to see all the faffing around trying to get the kit to work you photos of what you did are enough. I'm changing my bars as I'm the same height as you but hoping to get away with risers and LSL flat track bars. I've gone for then id controls so don't mind being slightly forward rather then sitting dead time and distance will tell if that works. It' annoying how motorcycle manufacturers have a 'one size fits all' design policy. One question... did you drill the new bars for the peg on the throttle assembly?

Afternoon Dave - I also have a 2022 Speedmaster. Although I love the beach bars, I had to swap to high bars too. So sad! (See my video.)

I didn't want to go for aftermarket bars as the drilling/filling required, and the 'hanging over the edge' grips just didn't seem right to me. Also, I'm a woosie. I watched your video of the 8" bars before I bought the Triumph stuff and the re-routing of the cables seemed a real hassle too, so I went for stock stuff - less the risers.

Dave, do your bars wobble about? Mine have a good deal of wobble 'cos the bars are rubber mounted. Do you get that?

Cheers,

Chris

Hi, i like your video and also like the 8 inch chumps. Do you have to use extension cable kit for the 8 inch bar? Thank you!

[leviteeler]

Did you sell the 8in bars ? Was it really that big of deal with the switch housings ? And drillling the joke out for throttle ..
