Helibars...And their removal

[silverback]

The bike I bought has a helibars riser on it. I notice it has a short brake line extension, but I don't see any wiring extensions.

I want to remove these because I like the stock riding position much better.

Anyone who has installed them here? Can you give me a heads up in any thing which may be a stumbling block?

Have to dig in a bit and see what the instructions said. The original hose/wire holders were cut and original handlebar bolts removed, so you may need the original bolts...... I'll recheck what I did, you can have my original bolts if you need them.

Ah, I just ordered them from Bike Bandit. Not a big deal. Thanks for the offer though.

Biggest problem is all the wire slack needs to go back in place. I think there is a clip for the clutch hose missing too.

Probably have to pull the triple tree upper off to put the stock bolts back in. I can dig into wires at that point I think.

Well, I have it semi-back to original. Picked up some stainless bolts from Ace Hardware and some self locking nuts. It looks like hell, but they are back in place. Should be just as strong as original or stronger depending on stock bolt material.

When the stock bolts come in, I will make it all pretty again.

Putting the OEM bracket back in caused a bit of trouble. I had to cut the left loop because it was highly impractical to disassemble the entire bike to thread the wiring harness and such back through the loop. But, I think it looks fine now and will function properly.

I just ordered a new Heli Bar Bridge. And it is not going on my FJR.
