For those thinking about Helibars risers
The pictures are kind of dark, but a few days ago i pulled mine off so that i could ride it without them some and I snapped a couple of pics with one on and one off so that you could get an idea of about how much they raise the bars up. It doesn't seem like that big of a difference, but for anything more than a 30 min. ride you can definitely tell.

I have some installed .. mostly to cover the tubes that i lowered for a bit tighter handling ...
I guess they work .. never noticed that big a difference .. I ride sitting up alot on longer cruises and fuly layed down ..
when I'm burning up the tires it never seemed to be something I noticed .. but they DO cover what was an over-exposed set of tubes ..

I have them also, and like them very much. I can't see any of my pictures on photobucket, so I hope I get this right.

There was not much of a difference for me. I used them for 500+ miles to the Texas Mile. I removed them to install my dampner, and never reinstalled them.
