Swapping out RX3 Handlebar?

sqwert · 05-07-2019, 02:21 PM

I've always found it easiest to loosen all tidbit hardware BEFORE loosening clamps on triples. THEN remove clamps from triples and no tools required to remove hardware from tidbits on bars. Best to lay old bars across rags on tank, new bars on rags on gauges, remove tidbits from one end of old bars and slide into approximate position on new bars, then do other end tidbits, then triple clamps, then adjust to preferences and tighten. With a little patience and thought the job can usually be done without unhooking wires or cables on most bikes.
