Bar risers

I just ordered the redesigned Helibars, and will post a report when I get them and install them. They are now 1 3/4" higher, 1" farther back, and 2" wider than stock, and no longer require after extended brake or clutch lines. However, the brake fluid reservoir mount must be adjusted (read bent) for the reservoir to sit level.

Just got confirmation from Helibars that they shipped today - so it will be at least a week or more before I get them and get them mounted. I know I'm going to like the increase height, and the 1" back is fine too. The 2" wider kind of worries me but we'll see.
Since there is literally nothing else to choose from that I am aware of for '08 CBR1K's in terms of raising the clip-on height, I'd figured I'd try these out and if I don't like them I'll go back to stock and sell the Helibars here on the site to another '08 CBR1K owner for a small loss...

My Helibars should be here on Tuesday or Wed for my 08 1000rr but I can't find a 41mm socket to install them. (without paying ~$40 or ordering it and waiting a week) I may have to have the shop install them. I am also looking to relocate the footpegs down an inch. Seems like most rearsets raise them and move them back :-(

I wasn't aware the Convertibars worked on the '08's - will have to check it out. I've seen them on VFR's and like the adjustability they offer. The Helibars are not adjustable.
As for rearsets, I've never seen a way to move the footpegs down. There are adjuster mounting plates for the standard rearsets, but I can't find information as to what the range of adjustment is and whether 'down' is an option.
