Thank you for your video!
Recently had 10” mini apes installed by dealer…after riding for a few miles i realized i need bars adjusted.
Did not want to make arrangement with dealer for adjustment.
You made my day with this easy video!

Great video. I’be been debating on adjusting my bars but didn’t want to deal with the headache. After seeing this simple method I’m definitely going to try different positions. Thanks.

Great help. Truly appreciate it. New to doing my own work … and your video was straight forward without a lot of fluff. I appreciate that

Bought a stock 15 RGS that fit me perfectly at 6’1” I must of lucked out because the stock bars fit me perfectly in the factory position 7 years later. Glad you’re back👍

Unbelievable timing.... I had been thinking I was going to adjust my bars forward a little bit. Honestly I wasn't concerned about how or the whatevers because I've changed bars a few times. After seeing your video I was 👍 yes I am liking this.... Took me maybe 10 minutes.
Thanks....

This was exactly what I needed. Got a 21 Street Glide Special yesterday and it has 14” aftermarket bars. I’m 6’ and they feel too tall. Hopefully I can pull them back a tad and be fine. I’d hate to spend $ switching it back to stock. Which felt perfect when I test-rode a similar bike.

Thanks so much. You definitely simplified that process

[TroyStrecker]

That is awesome, very good tip and saved me a bunch of time. Thank You

[rmcalhoun]

Perfect. I didn't want apes just a little bit higher. I turned my stock bars up to the highest setting and that little bit made at least an inch or two of difference.

Thanks for showing this easy process after all it’s not rocket science

[brandot.]

[robertbissonette]

Thanks a million worked like a charm best video

[dtork]

That was helpful thanks. Wondering if that simple for my ‘18 Tri glide? Stay safe.

[Dawseyandsons]

Can you tell me what model of bars those are? Also this should be identical for a 2022 Electraglide standard?

[smuutje]

How do you do the same on a road glide?

[guins]

I have a 21 SGS, Once you open up panel you can see the bolts but no direct line to apply wrench to remove them, clearly the fairing has to be pulled away.

Great quick tip 👍🏻 and thanks
Iv used many of your videos. 14 street glide. Ca.

[mikemassegrafixshopmike]

I torqued mine to 20 after a bar install and they still seem loose...any suggestions?

[bobm]
