Helibars, how are they?

[Spyderjockey1]

I am thinking of getting the helibars handlebar extensions for my 2008 SM5. I have the BRP 1" extension already installed, but would like a little more. I'm considering these, or the 3" extensions where you have to cut your existing bars. I would appreciate any comments from those using either of these extensions. Sorry if this should have gone to the tech group.

I would look at the adjustable handlebars from Kewlmetal. The adjust in 3 axis and are very versatile and easy to adjust. I have them and are very happy with them, they are the best. Here is the link to them www.kewlmetal.com .

I recall a less expensive set of risers mentioned around here. Around $129.00?

I have the HeliBars and like them a lot. I initially had the 1" BRP riser on, but my dealer said he could not mount the HeliBars with it. So that came off, and the HeliBars went on. I believe my dealer was incorrect. But it's done now. I'm very short waisted so it works for me. Some people don't like the look. But I didn't want to cut my stock bars. HeliBars only one of many options now to make the bars more comfortable. I'm happy with what I did.

I'm very happy with mine. If I had it to do again I'd probably go with the ESI or Kewlmetal risers for the adjustability. I'd prefer the bars just a bit more up and bit less back. Just my personal feelings though.
