Handle bar adjustment.

[guatdoc]

I have 2001 GW 1800 trike. Can I adjust the handle bars? I just want to move them in maybe 2 inches.

As is, they are pretty much fixed without going to aftermarket parts. Google up "GL1800 handlebar risers" and there will be many choices on risers to change the position of your handlebars. I opted for the Kuryakyn version. Very spendy, but it is variable depending on how you put the pieces together. I ended up changing the geometry to suit when we got a custom seat. If yo know what you want they can go as low as around #30, or upwards of $70.

The handle bar shims/risers will make a huge difference, other than that it is helibars.

If you are interested in the adjustable risers I know of some used ones that will rise the handlebars up 3/4 of an inch & can be moved in or out 2-3 inches, that are for sale.

On my trike I used MBL risers. He has 2 different kinds depending on how you want the spread of your bars to be.

I have the MBL for the vertically challenged and they made all the differance in the world.

I'm also vertically challenged, 5'8", and the risers were the ticket for me. They have allowed me to sit back and relax comfortably rather than stretching which caused much earlier fatigue.

Im 5' 10 give or take a minus inch or so.
I used the MBL GL 1800 Comfort Ride Handlebar Riser Kit 1803S Version. Up and in.
Without them. Id have canned the trike.

MBL risers for me as well.I had a set on my 02 that were adjustable,but could not find them for this bike. I thought they were MBL . Maybe they stopped making them.
