Title: Helibar Bar Risers
Post by: Longtom on January 26, 2016, 12:34:05 PM
Hi Guys,
I am thinking of fitting a pair of Helibar risers, 2 inch height increase and 3/4 " further to the rear. It says in the ad. that all the standard pipes and cables etc are retained,I am wondering how true that is and would be grateful for any input, thanks. :grin:

You've probably looked at this already but here's the website..

You can pull the installation manual down before hand and take a look at it.

I have the 2" risers and didn't have to change any cables etc.. There is plenty of slack..  :yes:

Here they are fitted to my 09 and now have them on my current baby..

Thanks for the replies and for all the detail and the pictures, Debs, very helpful, and Night rider-exactly what I wanted to hear!! Can't wait to do it now, just a teensy bit more comfy I hope.
