Default Handle bar adjustment ... Bob

I am getting a new set of bars (14" apes) put on my Bob.

The dealer is doing the work, sothereis little chance I will be around when they finally go on. My question is this;how difficult is it to adjust the angle of the bars once they've been wired up and bolted on? I'd like to try a few different angles and see what looks and feels the best.

I'd been assumingall I would have todo would be loosen a few screws, push them forwardor back and re-tighten. That was until I read a post aboutadjusting the bars on a RKC. Seems it may be a little more involved than Ithought.

Any insight on this?

Ray.

Your right - Loosen the 4 screws on the top clamp and move to the desired angle.

Ray, four clamp bolts.

But, if you move them much, you will want to reposition the levers
and controls. A few more screws.
