Mikesblackbird Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Does anyone have VFR Helibars on their bike. I know the 2002 + stock VFR bars fit the bird, but does anyone huse the Helibars for this model. If you do use them, did the cables need to be change and do you like the riding postion? Thanks.

rcskisfast Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Mike I've been on the helibar website and they say you can use the stock cables and hoses, I think that the vfr helibars will give you the most upright position unless you change the hoses. This is based on the information I have come up with so far. This winter unless I find sonething better I will install the vfr helibars on my bike.

Canadian Bird Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I have Heli Bars on my '02 Bird, b/c I'm height challenged, arms too, the original ride was a bit too aggressive for me. After 1000 kms I had the Heli's installed. 99,000 kms later, they still work perfect for me. Many others prefer VFR Bars, and they look excellent also. My 2 cents worth.

Did you happen to need to change the cables. They look like they would need to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_40 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I've got VFR bars, no need to change the lines. But you do have to do some mods, I had to do a bit of grinding and turning of the banjos on the break/clutch lines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the info I'm looking for; not VFR bars on the Bird; but Helibars for the VFR on the Bird. Thanks for the responses. It would seem to me with this set-up I would need to change the cables.
