Helibars? Who has them?

Looking at getting new bars for the Limited. I like the idea of these muti adjustable bars, but they are spendy. Just wondering who has them, and what did you think of them?

Also look into Klip Hangers made by klockwerks. I think they look better than Helibars and are a little cheaper.

I used a set of Rox Risers on my. Road Glide. I already had the Heritage bars but I wanted them up and back a little. Used the 4" black risers and they worked great. I was also able to use the stock cables but did have to reroute the clutch.

I had Helibars on my Ninja and really liked them but they weren't so adjustable or expensive. Buddy has them on his Victory and is happy with them (for the money he has to be). I've had good luck playing with where I want my hands to be and finding bars that put them there. But if adjustability is a big thing with ya, Helibars makes a good product.

Trike handle bars

I too have been looking at getting some Helibars. Would probably have some shop install them but that would increase the cost to about 1K or so. I only ride for about 1 hour at a time, my Trike handle bars do the job. I just like the looks of the bars. I guess it reminds me of what I had on my 63 trumpet back in the day. Did not read much on the guys question. There was a place they advertised that could install them and have them in stock. Called the shop and said they do not have or install the bars. So I have not persued them anymore.

Helibars

I had a set on my 2013 CVO Road King. I have since replaced the with the same bars that are on the 2015 CVO Roadglide. The Helibars work as advertised and are of very high quality. The only problem I had with them is they obviously do not allow the wiring to be in the bars.

One thing I noticed was once the Helibars were set in the proper position, I never adjusted them. So I reasoned if I could find a set of bars that put my hands in the same position, I could use them and again hide my wires. I looked at a whole bunch of bars and finally found the fitment on the RG ones.

I've had them on my '12 Ultra Classic and now a new set on my '15 Limited Low. I wouldn't ride without them now. They are infinitely adjustable and a top quality product. You can save some bucks by showing up at one of the bigger bike rallys where they are set up. They do installs for free. In fact you can go to their website and see which rallys they'll be at and make an appointment with them in advance. Install takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.
