Heli bars installed

[dozerdogue]

I just had my Heli bars installed today on my K9 and all I can say is WOW!! I can't believe how much pressure they take off your wrists and upper body. I drove 25 miles home with them on and felt great when I got off the bike. This was a well worth upgrade. I also feel like I have more leverage on the bike.

We appreciate you running out to your garage and taking those pic 11:44 on the clock. That's org dedication.

Did you put them on, or had someone do it.

I had the dealer do it. I just don't have the patience for things like this. It cost me like 70 bucks labor. Well worth it if you ask me seeing as they had to slightly extend the wires and cut the grips and reinstall new ones.

bike already had HeliBars when I bought it (courtesy of the 1st owner)....so do not have a reference point of NOT having it. but my wrists sure are grateful

The Helibars looks fine

Personally I have no problems using the stock bars even for longer trips. Last weekend I rode about 1500 miles to Germany and back. It is only at low speeds that it is needed to rest by raising up the body and drive with the right arm only, this gives a complete upright seating position, wich is better than leaning forward at low speeds in combination with road bumps.

I put them on mine when i first got it. Very easy install. Took about 30 minutes to do both sides.

They had to cut some wires to make it work? Those bars were going to be the first thing I was going to do along with the footpegs.

I installed HeliBars on my 08 Busa and did not have to cut the gripes...I did have to reroute some wires...that's it...took about 0.5 hours total...

Is that a warning sticker I see on your fairing?

Looks like a hair dryer and a little picking is in order.

So, for that other thread where someone was asking why they are so high - this is the reason they are still worth it. I know it makes a world of difference to my ride!

Heli and a Tobin was the first mod on my bike.

Glad you like!
I put some on mine but took them off a couple weeks later. I like the stock ones I guess.

I wish I could get some 6 inch apes for my King. But then I'd have to buy all new brake hoses throttle etc. I'm WAYYY to cheap for that. So I keep what I have.......
