Handlebars

[MChappell]

My name is Mark, Thanks for the membership. I just purchased a bmw r18b cruiser. Does anyone know how to adjust the handlebars forward. TIA

You could change the risers to ones without pullback, flip the stock risers or rotate the bars in the clamps. I did that last one, rotated them forward which also moved them higher. There is a pin underneath the left grip that you will need to remove and drill a new hole for or the controls (like the clutch lever) will rotate as well and be in a weird spot. But a little bit of labor and it's a very workable solution if you want the bar ends to be further forward and higher.

Mine's a TC but hope this helps... I had the dealer rotate the stock handlebars up a bit, perhaps 1-2 inches. Much mote comfortable to me.
Didn't need to modify the bars for adjusting the controls but maybe I just like 'em the way they are.
There's another good thread on here that discusses the handlebars.
