HeliBars handlebars and risers give you a better, more comfortable riding position so you can tack on the miles and leave pain in the dust. And whether you’re standing at a stop light in town or flying down a long lonesome desert highway, precision-built HeliBars handlebar replacement systems transform and improve your bike’s handling and performance.
Q: Will HeliBars Handlebar Adapters affect the handling of my bike?
A: In most HeliBars Handlebar Adapter applications, there's an improvement in both low- and high-speed handling on the street. You also must take into consideration the fact that you'll be sitting more upright and therefore more in the wind-stream
Q: Will I need to modify throttle cables or brake lines?
A: Most HeliBars Handlebar Adapter models are designed to work with all of your stock cables and hydraulic lines. In some cases, it is necessary to replace your throttle cables or hydraulic lines. If longer lines or cables are required, it will be noted as to weather they are necessary and/or if they are included.
Q: Will HeliBars Handlebar Adapters interfere with my stock tank or fairing?
A: As long as the installation instructions are followed, HeliBars Handlebar Adapters will not contact your tank or fairing. If you have an aftermarket tank or fairing there maybe interference. HeliBars are designed as a direct STOCK replacement.
Q: Should I use my HeliBars Handlebar Adapters as a tie down point?
A: HeliBars Handlebar Adapters must not be used as the primary holding points for tie downs while trailering. (Just as it is not recommended that you use your stock handlebars as a tiedown point.) Extreme force applied to the ends of the bars can bend the bars or rotate them on their mounts. Instead use a wheel chock and pull the machine down and forward. Using soft ties or similar, attach to the lower triple clamp. Bars should only be used as secondary attachment points to steady the motorcycle from lateral sway. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause damage to the HeliBars and the motorcycle, and may also void our warranty.
