Hello everyone.
I know this topic might have been done to death but I can't find quite what I'm looking for on the forum.
Perhaps someone might be able to help.
Generally I don't have problems with the original bars,however I sometimes take a pillion and the extra weight on my wrists is spoiling everything.
I really do not want to make alterations to the fairing if possible .
I found this http://www.bykebitz.co.uk/motorcycle-ha ... ibars.html
Has anyone got any experience of these and whether or not they fit without body work alterations.
I've also had a look at the CNC top yoke conversion(still waiting for a reply to my emaIl)..Is there a need for bodywork alterations if I go down this road?
Many thanks
Stu

Re: Bar risers
not sure if anybody on here has fitted the HelBars, but with the CNC yoke conversion you will have to cut the fairing. But I will say that a low set of flat bars works very well with this bike and only needs a small mod to the faring, and this is pretty easy to do with a dremmel.
other options are the black painted bars off the newer model VTR [with the bigger tank] or bars off the VFR [not sure which year]

Re: Bar risers
I fitted a set of ABM Multiclip Tour bars to my Falco which allowed a more comfortable bar position without any fairing mods ( http://www.bikermart.co.uk/proddetail.a ... =Multiclip ). The only change I had to make was to reposition the clutch and brake fluid reservoirs why may not be an issue with the FireStorm.

I ran Helibars for a few years and liked them, no fairing trimming needed

Re: Bar risers
Mine is an 03 with black clip ons so I'm guessing that this is different to the bars on earlier bikes.mik_str wrote:I ran Helibars for a few years and liked them, no fairing trimming needed
Do you know if the helibars give more lift etc than the OEM black ones?

Re: Bar risers
I seem to recall the 01+ bars were 19mm taller than the Gen 1. The Helibars, again IIRC, are taller yet. Perhaps have a look at their Web site, it should say.....
