Default Helibars, got them!

Been having a hard time getting the right bars for my 2014 Limited, stock bars no, reduced reach bars, no, finally got the Helibars, and I'm glad I did. Come way back to me, finally feeling comfortable on the bike, and I don't mind the way they look at all. Wish I had done it a year ago!

So, picked bike up at dealer yesterday, 7 hour install, no new cables, although I had new cable installed when they did the reduced reach bars 10 months ago. I had the bars and grips set to max. pullback. Left the dealer and everything felt great. Took it out this morning and after a few miles, felt a little twinge in my right forearm. Decided grips were too low, pulled into a lot, took out an allen wrench, raised the grips. Can't tell you how great
it felt, hands up, elbows bent, leaning back against the backrest. didn't want to get off the bike. Don't know if these bars are for everyone, but for those of us that have a hard time reaching the bars, no matter what we do, these were awesome. I am very pleased so far. Anyone that can do the install themselves, bars come with a 30 day money back guarantee, as long as they are returned in the original packing box, at least according to the manufacturer.[IMG][/IMG]

If anyone asks how they look reply, "comfortable". I am really looking at getting some or my bike as well.

You're going to love them. "Comfort" = "Beauty"
