Helibar risers
Anybody have these on a 14? Looking at them on helibars websight and it didn't look like they would change the bar height enough to make much of a difference.

I got them and your right it didn't change much but you can feel the difference after a couple of hours of riding. No more carpal tunnel syndrome...

I got them shortly after I bought the bike, yes big enough difference that I didn 't need to op for the converti-bars. If you buy them from the source in Canada you can return them if not satisfied. I gave the info in a previous thread a few months ago with the same question.

They make a big difference. So much so that I preferred the stock lower bars and took them off. Small changes in bar height have a large effect on comfort.

Think I'll try em then, not a whole lot of money and looks like a simple install. Any lower pegs available ? Kind of surprised there isn't more leg room on this bike. Maybe I'll just have to get used to it.

Rumble Import com. but I called them at 514-640-7736 to place my order. $69.99 + 15.99 shipping from Canada. They also said if I didn't like them just send them back. Very quick delivery as I recall.

Rumble is an awesome company to do business with. I can't say enough about them in one thread!
They also distribute their products through Rocky Tucker, so any reputable local parts dealer should be able to get their stuff too
