Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster Handlebars 

I spoke with Dave (Daves DIY: ru-vid.com/show-UCJu7ygS7J9DP3kvzU7Gd8Ug) and he found the correct torque setting for the riser bolts: 38Nm. I've tightened the bolts as much as I dare and now the bars are much more rigid. Thanks Dave!

I have a 2016 Chief dark horse and a 2013 Road King classic. Now I definitely want one of the Triumph speedmasters, gorgeous bike. First Triumph I've ever seriously found irresistible.

Oh shit that's put me off of buying the bike and I had it all planned out in my head 😂

You can use the long risers in combination with Triumphs own Bonneville-line Bars. Plus there is even a 1inch extension for the risers available. On my Bobber I had a 1inch extension for the riseres, the Pullach risers from motone in comb with the Boneville-Bars, rerouted the cables and had a new upper brakehose made

Greetings, I just couldn't get comfortable with the beach bars that come from the factory. I bought the Motone risers and they were an easy install and used original cables, wires and brake lines. The Motone risers lifted the bars and moved them back making the beach bars at least tolerable for me but I was not yet content. I was going to swap out the beach bars with some old Harley bars I had lying around but a quick check indicated a no go as the triumph hand grips and bar switches require a significantly longer straight section than the Harley bars have. So I just went with the triumph hi-rise bars (mini-ape style) and the extension kit for brake lines, wires and cables. I was a bit nervous about the brake lines but it all went very well and I was able to bleed the brake lines with no issue (have solid front brakes like factory, rear brake still sucks). Now I didn't like the position that resulted from how the triumph high bars were pinned. I took a chance and kept the Motone risers and installed the Triumph bars. My memory is a bit vague and bike is away for winter but I believe I may have hand made some brass shims from some sheet brass I had on hand. The upshot is that my high bars are solid, no wobble or slip and I didn't have to deal with the bar position that pinning the bars would have required. I now find the ride comfortable and use the MadStad wind screen.

The best bars for the speedmaster are the bobbers handlebars with aftermarket 3.5 to 5 inch risers with a 2 inch pullback. Thats the hot setup. You are shopping the boutique aftermarket outlets, they are scalping you. You dont need the longer cables

On my 22 Speedmaster, I do like the standard beach bars , but what I did was angled the bar up a few inches, so that the grips are parallel with the horizon instead of angled downward, it looks great and I didn’t have to change cables , my arms are more straight out,, And I have the Dart Marlin Fly screen, looks perfect and is to me more comfortable, I too like how your new Apes look , especially how you got them angled inline to the forks , 👍🏼

I recently purchased a speedmaster, didn't like the beach bars so I had the black bobber bars fitted. Much better I found 😊

My experience with any kind of rubber mounted bars, a little movement is quite normal , only a rigid mount bar would be completely tight and no movement. I think if I had the risers with the locating pins, I think i would elongate the hole in the handlebar to allow some adjustability. I love those tall bars on your speed master, i want to put a set on my T-120 -2022 model but no one seems to know whether they would fit or not. Thankyou for your experimenting gives other riders ideas whether some parts would work or not.

Great video well said. I have a 2018 Speedmaster .Before that 2001 Heritage softail with factory bars and pull back risers. Loved it. Im 64 I love my speedmaster low stance .Right now battling to rather keep beach bars and just rotate them up just a smidge, are bye the motion pull back risers are the tall bars like yours.Its pretty expensive to experiment if you dont like it. I guess I will keep my beach bars for now they are so close to perfect probably not a good idea to mess around changing plus I like being able to push it around with little effort where as you are correct the tall bars changes the weight on the bike. Thanks for the video.

Really helpful- thanks!

I have the 2008 Triumph America and the only thing I changed apart from an EFI tune Upgrade I changed the shocks front & rear as the standard shocks were way to stiff and hard. So I changed them to progressive front & rear springs and new adjustable dampers. It's so smooth now I can throw it around into corners like it's a racing bike it now feels like it's running on rails.

I just can't believe the prices for new stuff for new bikes.

There’s an American chap on RU-vid who fitted the TC bothers 8” mini apes. They looked pretty good, and he didn’t need extended cables. Another alternative is the bars from the Triumph Scrambler XC. They have slightly higher rise than those from the T120 and of course, all the controls fit properly.

Hi all, I wanted to replace a high handlebar on my speedmaster 2023, but if the handlebars become soft, I don't think it would be a good solution.

Another reason for me to stay with my trusty old 2004 Sportster 1200 Custom…

Hey there! I was wondering if you could help me out by letting me know what type of handlebars are used in the Interceptor model?

Got some risers that fit RE Interceptor and bobber, no pins, does away with the rubber.

There's only 1. The other 2 are after market options. What they come with is the perfect choice. Indisputable.

My old truimph dpeedtwin i had semi Western s anf thats what i wojld reuse again but im just an ingnorant kiwi fan

Could you not grind the pins down?

Bring back the storm.

The audio is off. Sounds a bit underwater.

Bars have not changed at all…

The high bars are a very bad idea. They look terrible. Sorry

Maybe face the fact that the geometry doesnt suit your body. Why not trade in and get a T120?

Get rid an buy the Super Meteor. 💪😎

OK....I am sorry, but I cannot fathom why the original bars are not more comfortable than those mini ape hanger monstrosities. Every (and I mean every) review I have seen of this beautiful bike says the bars and seating position is delightfully comfortable. Those ape hangers are going to mean rotator cuff surgery in the future. As subjective as looks can be, those apes are the ugliest thing you could do to a Speedmaster. Sorry, but that is my honest opinion.
