Mikesblackbird Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Let me try this again......I know that 2002 and up stock VFR bars fit the Blackbird and this is a good alternative to the stock BB clipons or Helibars for the BB. What I wanted to know is if anyone is using Helibars for the VFR on the Blackbird. Will they fit, and if so, would the cables need to be changed? I asked this question a few days ago and I think most people were responding to either using Helibars for a Blackbird on a Blackbird, or VFR bars on the Blackbird. Thanks again.

porterb123 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 If memory serves me correctly, I've heard that you will need a longer clutch and brake lines to use that setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelergaugephil Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 My guess would be call your local honda dealer (service) they should be able to give you the correct info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike The Heli bars for the BB just fit when you take off the "stops" from the brake and clutch lines. The throttle cables are also tight at full lock. I quess the stock VFR bars are about the same as the BB Heli bars - so the VFR Heli bars should be about 1 inch taller. My guess is that they will fit but you may not be able to go full lock. Perhaps you could route the cables a shorter way. The Heli bar people would know the dimentions of their bars. If they are only 1/2 inch taller/further back, then no problem.

I contacted Helibar and they gave me the typical corporate answer..."our bars are made to be model specific and if you attempt to use one model on another, then injury and possible death may be the result"....or something to that effect. Either way, I ordered a set and should have them in the next week or so, and I'll let all interested parties know how it works out. If they work then I'll be selling my current BB Helibars. Thanks for the info and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
