Ordered and then installed Helibars on my non-DCT VFR. Another 200 mile ride left me cold and tired, but my lower back was fine. The helibars allow me to move around and shift through a much wider range of seating positions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226218858609185419.post-21817068941256518602012-04-10T13:21:03.505-06:002012-04-10T13:21:03.505-06:00Hi,

Had a ride today, although I will have to move the clutch control closer to the grip as the ball on the brake level gets under my little finger.<br /><br />Have you given any type of throttle lock a thought. I am thinking to try the vista one as shown on the Ozblackbird site.<br /><br />BTW fantastic blog<br /><br />Cheers<br />SeddoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226218858609185419.post-83064132265744230472011-09-25T11:33:51.010-06:002011-09-25T11:33:51.010-06:00Is your bike a DCT?

I bought mine second-hand so I can't verify their origin but they are definitely meant for the VFR1200 and they fit quite well. I did have to re-configure all the controls to get everything to fit just right.TSKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762232588589056075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226218858609185419.post-26069513573505110532011-09-25T06:02:23.383-06:002011-09-25T06:02:23.383-06:00Phobe, 2 quick qustions.

I bought a set on friday and there seem to be 2 main differences.<br /><br />1) the bolts are in a different position. they seem to face more directly out the side of the bike, and are an allen key set up.<br /><br />2) The distance between the edge of the throttle/control housings and the clamps on the clutch and brake master cylinders seems to be about 5/8inch.<br /><br />just interested.

It snowed 20cm in Calgary yesterday so riding season just got a little further away. I can say from sitting on it that it feels more relaxed for me, as I found the reach to the bars to be a bit long. The footpegs are a bit high. I don't have long legs but they are still bent at a fairly acute angle while riding. I can imagine taller people getting sore knees after long rides.TSKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762232588589056075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226218858609185419.post-76252830118609050222011-04-15T06:12:36.682-06:002011-04-15T06:12:36.682-06:00Hi, Could you elaborate on how the installation im...Hi, Could you elaborate on how the installation improved the riding position?
