The come back kid Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Looking for a set of VFR risers in nice condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Risers to install on VFR bars, VFR bars to install on a Bird, or just looking for any type/brand higher bars for a Bird? If the latter, I have Helibars and I think some other brand. Possibly some VFR bars too, I'd have to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The come back kid Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Looking for VFR bars to install on bird. Hoping to avoid extending any lines or cables. Might be interested in other options, any advice is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I also have been looking for VFR bars, I guess they are getting rare these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The come back kid Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Hoping to keep it relatively cheap, definitely not going to spend $500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I'll try to remember to dig out my stuff tomorrow and post photos. If I have something you like it won't be $500, just $499🤣 And no sales tax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 After posting that I remembered where I'd put them. I thought I had 3 sets of different risers, turns out two of them are stock '97-'98 bars and one set of Helibars. Helis run $319 new, how bout half off? The stock lines/cables don't need to be changed, see link below for details. https://www.helibars.com/products/HeliBars®-handlebar-risers-for-Honda-CBR1100XX-Blackbird/301.html From memory I think the VFR bars require that you do some tweaking to use the stock cables/hose. I'm guessing Heli uses less rise and more set-back and maybe an angle change to achieve a similar position without being so high as to be a problem for the stock hose/cables. I think you can get a little extra comfort from the stockers by raising and rotating them. I did this on my SuperHawk which had similar bars. It didn't do as much as aftermarket bars will, but it helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkxx Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 If anyone runs across a set of VFR bars 2002 up, 6th gen, 43mm, I would be grateful for a heads-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Knievel Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 If you know the part number you need for your year XX, you can pursue VFR boards and salvage yards for any too. That's how I got mine for the XX (IIRC). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
