Handlebar Adjustment

Post by Mytagg »

Hey, just picked up a 2001 Voyager today. It has a nice Corbin seat with a back rest. The problem is that i need the handle bars to come back a little further to use it. Are there any adjustments or aftermarket parts you recommend? I cant find anything on youtube.

Yes, the handlebars are adjustable in and out and fore and aft. Take a look at the service manual (link is in my signature). Enjoy the new bike!

I swapped to a different handlebar for the ergos you mention. It's also simpler, prettier, and narrower (keeps my hands out of the mirrors and cold wind). IIRC, intended for a Triumph T-140. I took a guess based on dimensions (especially a little more rise), and it works perfectly rotated back a bit. I ended up with smaller bar-end weights but no issue with vibration. YMMV (but my daily mileage would be less without it)
