20/21 RT Helibar pics

[Quasimoto]

I was wondering if there would be some 20/21 RT owners that could put up some pics of Helibars on their rides.
Hardly any pics to be found on the net.
Thanks

They aren’t great, but here’s a couple. These Helibars are set for someone 6’7”, so they are at their max height and distance from the rider…..

Thanks. Trying to figure out how high they will end up moving my hands.
I like the distance the stock bars are from me, but I’d like my hands about 3” higher.

Give us a couple of measurements of your current bars, Quasi….. say from floorboard to centre of grip end, and mirror glass to centre of grip end. We can then provide the same to you for our own setups. That may give you a starting idea.

These are my measurements, bearing in mind the Helibars are as far forward, and high, as possible, and that my stock height includes a 1.5” riser. Which means that you can get around 3.5” extra height out of the Helibars over the stock bars (without risers) at their maximum extension, but the bars are then around 2” further away than stock.

Bar centre to floorboard
Stock + 1.5” riser = 870mm - 34.25”
Helibars = 915mm - 36”
Bar centre to mirror front
Stock + riser = 370mm - 14”
Helibars = 310mm - 12”

Thanks a bunch guys for the measurements and those before and after pics. I wanted to make sure they would do more then I needed to find the sweet spot, before I spend the $1000.

I think if I do the same as you and then pull the whole assembly back a little bit, that will probably be perfect for me.
I was a little worried they would end up about 5-6” higher set that much upright.

...before I spend the $1000.

Before you spend HOW MUCH? Helibars are $600 all day long. Less if you can find them on sale. You can absolutely swap them out yourself.

$600 usd is about $850-900 Can plus shipping. Down fall of living in Canada.

Here you go. The bars are infinitely adjustable to allow for a PERFECT fit. Worth every penny.
