Heli Bars

Any one use these? Comments? Are they worth the money. I have been through 5 sets of bars and I cannot find anything that suits me.

Heli bars are great on a sport bikes. Never even knew they made them for Harley's. They definitely are not inexpensive. Let us know how you like them if you get them.

Wow, those look interesting. My RC bars really bug my wrists and the reach is too far fwd.

Those are sweet! Kinda pricey, but it would eliminate buying 3 or 4 sets of bars to find the perfect fit.

Hate to revive an old thread, but has anyone tried these bars. They may be pricey but going through several types of bars to find the right one will be too.

These are interesting. At first I was put off by them, but like you said changing bars is expensive and you definitely do not get guaranteed results. After further thought, I am interested.

I saw these at the Florida Hog Rally. They are infinitely adjustable ( utube video) and very massive. Installed for $800 at most big rallies. My next $800 is for these.

$800 installed seems to be in the ball park. $800 retail for just the bars seems high to me. I suspect there is a lot of price elasticity on something like that, such that if they were say $399 a LOT of people would buy them.

They are definitely a cool product. I would get them over any fixed bar for sure. Though I don't have the $800 to spend. Hard to beat the sub-$100 price on Sweepers...
