Marc Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 I'm 6'3" 200lbs, I'm trying to find which bars would better my riding experience. Heli-bars or VFR bars. I've ridden a newer FZ1000 and think it has a wonderful position, so anything close to that would be great. Thanks Marc Quote
86gn Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 The VFR bars are more level, higher and pulled back. They also look better IMO and are cheaper. All in all one of the best things I have done to the Bird! Quote
XXTi Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 I like my VFR bars too. They are comfortable and I think they look better than the Heli's. I even raised mine about 3/4" on the fork tubes. Quote
Hobicus Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Here's some pictures of them: VFR Bar Install Pictures Enjoy. Quote
severdog Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 I just got my VFR bars from Ron Ayers. That, and DualStar grip heaters. Looking forward to doing this mod. Quote
f4girl Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 Don (my husband) first had the HeliBars and didn't like them, so took them off. He got a pair of VFR bars about 2 months ago and is MUCH happier with them. It's not gonna feel like a FZ1, but it's better than the stock bars. Edit: BTW, we printed out the Ron Ayers form showing how much they charge for the bars (using the shopping cart part of their website), brought it to the bike shop we use, and they matched the price with no problem.

MiDNiTXX Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 Could someone give a little more detailed info so I know I am getting the right VFR bars Quote
CALCXX Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Another option. TBR Z3 bars. 2 3/4 rise Another view I don't like doin business with TBR, but I sure do like thier products. My 02 cents. Cal Quote
spEEdfrEEk Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 VFR bars _definately!_ They are very comfortable, look like they were designed for the bike, easy to install, and work nicely with things like the throttlemiester.. :cool: TJ :cool: Quote
severdog Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Could someone give a little more detailed info so I know I am getting the right VFR bars check this thread out: http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=347 near the bottom of the thread there is a discussion on the exact part numbers, and where to order them from.
