Helibars Horizon Handlebars

I'm looking for some feedback before I spend a lot of cash for these bars. I've got a 2004 Road King Classic. I've bought Chubby's 508's, the HD RK high bar, and don't like any of them. The 508's have a horrible wrist angle (like holding a wheelbarrel), and the HD RK high bars don't have enough pullback for me. The Helibars look like they might be the solution I'm looking for.

Anyone out there running these Helibars? Comments? Will the stock cables and wires work?

Thanks,
Doug

RE: Helibars Horizon Handlebars

they look a lot like the HD Street Slammer bars that I like very much. Your HHH looks to have more pullback though....

I've never seen those. I like the concept of them, though. Not sure I really like the way they'd look on a Road King Classic, though. However, they'd look good on other models.

I'm somewhat indifferent about the looks myself. I really need to see them in person. What I'm most concerned about is comfort. I'm getting really tired of all of this handlebar swapping. It takes a lot of time and money, and I just want to be done with it. I was hoping that someone on this board might already have experience with these bars so I could get some real world feedback. These suckers are expensive!

Yikes! I just saw the cost. $795 for a set of bars. For that, they should come with a bj.

Same here. If it wasn't for the ridiculous price I'd be all over them. Even so, I still might pull the trigger. I've had Heli Bars (not the Horizons) on previous bikes and the quality was second to none. Sure does look like an effective solution.
