Helvet Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hey, give me some credit too..... They are (all) my handlebars..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squareman357 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 My first time seeing it. Damn that is a NICE thread. The animated pics really give a good idea of the differences. Too bad it didn't have the Heli's in there too, or it would be THE definitive handlebar thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helvet Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Now I also have a pair of Heli-Bars in my house. The problem is that we can't get the exact same position back to make these pics.... If we want to do it right, we need to do them all over again...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 That's sweet as shit..... Does anyone have step by step instructions for replacing heli bars? including pics would be helpful... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaserkeywest Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Just removed Helibars for my Bird, installed Converibars! They are expensive, you need to change brake/clutch lines but I'm up 2 1/2 inches over Helibars, back 1 inch and can come back another no problem. If you need the most UP you can get this is it ! Plus if you want down, 3mins with an Allen wrench and your laying on the tank. Change the crap Allen screws with stainless other wise beauifully made. This sight has a great vid to give you the poop. http://www.convertibars.com chaser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaserkeywest Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Iceman the Convertibar web site is loaded with pix and a great video of a guy on a gsxr riding to the twisties upright then dropping the bars and laying it over......chaser http://www.convertibars.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helvet Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 It looks terrible, but seams to work ok. Don't the risers touch the inside panelling of the fairing on the BB? It is a lot cheaper than the Gilles VarioBar, but they are much more flexible. You can also change the tilting-angle of the bars. These come pre-adjusted....

chaserkeywest Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Helvet These are a very nicely machined piece of gear, on the bike they look fine. To get max height you will have to shave the stock screen on the side tabs,I have a zero gravity tour flip and get alot of height without shaving but will knock off 1/2 inch just because I might want to come up that last 3/8.

chaserkeywest Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 PS. Helvet Yes the very tip of the fairing(about 1/4 inche) could need to be ground off to avoid the brake/clutch resevoirs from touching. But thats at full rise and full lock! I could come up another 3/8 inch and I would have to shave a little to get that. Chaser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helvet Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Thanks for the info, but I guess I wasn't totally clear what I meant... It looks like the vertical bar of the risers is beside the forklegs. There is not much clearance between the forklegs and the inner part (grey) of the fairing. Can this pass there, or is this position not possible?

chaserkeywest Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Helvet I see what your after, yes they will rotate lock to lock with no problems about this much (...............) clearance at the least. Chaser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericsh Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I posted this a couple of weeks ago - works like a charm. Seating reach equals that of my previous FJ1200. Back problems solved: Search the previous posts for: VFR bars with pre-load adjustable risers, and Galfer lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
