Handlebar Adjustment Spacers

[HouTexH2SX]

I installed my 10mm spacers yesterday and went for a 220 mile ride today. I can't say that they are a huge improvement but I can feel the difference especially since my Sargent modified seat keeps me sitting more toward the rear of the seat increasing the reach to the bars--the spacers help to compensate for this some.

Is your Sargents seat specific for the H2SX? You have an early release?

I sent my stock seat to Sargent and had them custom modify it for me. They dished it out and raised the front like they do for their other seats. This is probably what they will be doing for their H2 SX seat if they ever release it. I had this done in August, 2018 shortly after I got the bike--the stock seat was so uncomfortable I had to do something and could not wait to see if Sargent was going to make a seat for it.

So far Sargents has twice confirmed (?), first for Aug-Sept, and last week, for Oct, or so.

HaraldB what do think of the Spiegler ABM kit? There are photos and good detailed instructions so I could install them myself. I think I am going to get this setup. I did call Spiegler btw he also mentioned STG sells the kit also. Same price but I have some money I can redeem as I’ve bought from them.

Just not sure about the 10mm risers. Is there another source for these besides Japan. They show out of stock but pending. What’s the cost on these? I’m surprised no SX owners know any CNC people. Personally I would think creating them would not be that tough.

I also contacted Murphs and Oscar said they were deep into the project and thought he would have more info in a couple weeks that was several days ago. So I guess I’m kind of waiting to see what his setup offers. I replied back to ask if he could share any info in adjustments and he said (No). So that’s what I know.

Just installed 2 of the 5mm spacers. No issues with cables. Easy install and enough of a rise that I am happy

I finally got around to installing the ABM handle bar conversion (Spiegler) on my SE plus.

It was a bit more complicated than an SX because of the electronic front forks and OEM grip heater. Probably the worst part was having to take off the top fairing just to free the electronic front fork wire harnesses so I could remove the OEM bars. I did not remove the top fairing completely as I was able to get enough access from the right hand side without disconnecting all the harness connectors. If you do this protect your front fender! As usual I had to order a left heated grip as I could not get the old grip off without messing up some of the grip heater traces.

The ABM kit is straight forward and pretty easy to set up. The brake and clutch line they give you fit. But you lose a clutch line mount block where their flexible line attaches to the rigid OEM line. You will have to come up with a clamp to hold that union. Had to also reroute some of the wires to get a little more slack thru the handlebar travel.

I love the new position of the handle bars about 1" higher 1" back from OEM. You are still leaning forward, just not as far. Had a wonderful comfortable ride to work this morning. I doubt your hands would ever go numb with this kit. However you do lose some of the sport bike clip on look with this kit. I can now use my handlebar mount for my GPS.

Worth the effort!

After numerous requests. This is how the riding stance looks with the ABM kit from the side. I am 6 foot 2 inch tall with a 32 inch inseam. Still leaning forward a little but a lot more relaxed for me.
