Adjustable Handlebars
Just came back from Sturgis and saw some Ness Modular Bagger Bars. Anyone try them yet? Any pics? They did not have them on a batwing bike there, so would like to see if I can keep my hands behind the fairing.

Also looked at the Heli bars. Great adjustability. Solid bar, not hollow. Nice and strong but all wires have to be routed outside. Also $700 installed at the rally!

Been waiting for something adjustable for the bike. My snowmobile has tilt steering, can raise it forward for rider forward, or bring them back for cruising. Would be nice to change the wrist angle while riding.

I saw the HeliBars on a bike a couple of months ago in Penn and the guy said that he loved them. All he needed was a allen wrench to change the bars position if he ever got tired of riding in the same position.

I definitely like the adjustability factor.
No doubt the price will come dowm in the future once the competetion begins.
A set may be on my "Christmas List" once I get my new machine.

I installed my HeliBars a few weeks ago. Stumbled upon this thread and figured I'd chime in if it'll help anyone. I installed them myself and got a great deal on them (nowhere near $700). I still have some adjustments till their perfect, but I can say that they are light years ahead of the stock (crap) bars. The quality is amazing and Horizon has top notch customer service.

The Ness bars look like a knockoff of the oem adjustable Honda Goldwing bars. I've used those before, they were fine. The adjustability for getting it right was very nice. But, once you got it right, you quit fiddling with it. They were secure and solid, I see no reason to doubt the Ness bars are any less so.
