I am looking at getting some bar risers for my 954 but find prices of Heli bars in the UK are very high..... just how much would a set be in the USA, I only ask because i know a lot of the members of this forum are from over the '' pond ''.

Thanks

 

$300-500 a set depending on which kit. I dunno what the current conversion rate is.

 

Raylee's spot on with his comments.

If you're looking at the Heli-bars, check out the APEX 3d risers, as well.

Cheers for that.

 

Do you think these ever come up second hand on the forum ?

 

Very rarely. It's one of those mods you don't really go back from. If you're looking to save a few bucks on ergonomics, I know Vortex and Woodcraft make clip ons that have up to a 3" rise and they're adjustable up to 7 degrees in most cases. These can usually be had for like $200 or so.

 

3'' maybe a little too much, i still want it to look like a sportbike but with a little more '' give '' for comfort, thats why the Helibars looks so right.... but they have stopped making the blood things !

 

There's a US based company we deal with at the shop for Heli bars, but I forgot the name. Unfortunately (or fortunately for me), I'm on a mini-vacation until Monday so I don't have access to the vendor info. I'll shoot you a PM on Tuesday or so if you're still in need by then.

I like Heli bars because you know for a fact you can retain your stock lines/cables and you won't hit your fairings. I only threw out the riser clip ons as a suggestion.

 

That would be excellent, i know i will not have found anything by then..... this seems to be akin to the search for the Holy Grail !!!!
