RFM Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I am a two time Helibar user. First put them on my RSVR, and now on my Falco. They allowed me to ride to Deal's Gap and back in a weekend, plus spending a day on the Skyway and Dragon. 1000+ mile weekend on a sport bike...Now I'm on the sport tourer, and it's capable of the distance rides, but track days too.

Bad324 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 from what I have looked at it would be a toss up between the Helibars and Convertibars. The Convertibars have more pros for ya other than price with the only con really being possible added expense with new cables. But the nice thing about them being adjustable is you can try them with stock cables and if you need further adjustment then you can later buy cables after the initial expense has already been incurred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I love my heli bars, they have a million adjustments..It appears the bars for the viffer don't have all of that? Mine go up and down, and then in grip portion goes in and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstrosity Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 For me it would be a toss up between the Helibars and the LSL. As many good things I've heard about the converti bars I've heard bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick783 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Man I went down this road when I got my svs, but after a few months no more back/wrist pain just had to get used to it i guess.One other option is to get another top triple, drill a couple of holes and buy some clamps. Sounds scary but some guys on the sv forum did it & looks solid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mello dude Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) I think there is a fairing interference issue with convertibars in a certain position. You might jump over the VFRD to ask the question. Here's a pic of the LSL job on a 6th....There's lots of different bars you could try. I think if I had a viffer than I wanted to convert to more of a tourer, I'd do the bar job. (You'll need to buy the longer cables from convertibars.) Your probably thinking 2 up with the wife too? (This is FotoMoto's bike) Other than that, I'm a low bar guy, I have lower than stock 4th gen bars on my 5th gen. I think higher bars make it more difficult to get down for body positioning in corners. Also I find it comfortable anyway.
