Default 2018 SGS Handlebar Swap
So I’ve been researching and reading up on all the related posts but haven’t seen much on the 2018s. Are there any differences or nuances with changing bars on these? Was the size of the TBW connector reduced so you can pull it through the bars? Any insights would be great.

GREAT choice.

That is the MOST comfortable bar giving you greatly improved handling and control.

Great. Sounds like I chose a good set of bars. I did have the Santee 11” on my older SG and they were perfect so these should be too.
