2020 Speed Twin with Ace Bar Kit (A2043219)

This is my 2020 Speed Twin 1200 with the OEM Triumph Ace Bar Kit (A2043219), even though the kit is technically made and sold for the Street Twin 900's. Sharing this in case someone in the future was curious if it fits, because when I was doing my own research, I only found a handful of examples.

Install took about two hours, but it was not time efficient because i did not have my garage set up at that time. So that meant I had tools and equipment sprawled out all over the floor, and I had to Youtube to figure out how the OEM heated grips were run inside the bar. Additionally, I can report the OEM Triumph heated grips and bar end mirrors from the Speed Twin fit with no issue. The kit came with a new brake fluid reservoir bracket, but I kept the stock Speed Twin one. I haven't double-checked if there's a big difference between the two, so I may swap it in the future.

In terms of body position, this lowers the bars to be closer to something like a sport(y) bike, but not like the full-fat supersports. Ignoring the footpeg position, the rider triangle/reach to the bar may be similar to something like a Ninja 400/500/650 (haven't sat on one of them in a while), Yamaha R3, a Street Triple, or Tuono V4. The reach feels more sporty, but the footpeg position still says otherwise.

I find the new bar position more comfortable for my body. I felt that the stock bars were too high, and the angle of the grips put my arms in a state of internal rotation, which caused discomfort in my shoulder/elbow after a while.
