Heli Bars wants a Tenere

[Davesax36]

Heli Bars is looking for a tenere in New England. Somebody want to help them out? I told them I'd ride up, but it's obviously not close. Anybody up there want to loan them a bike for a bit? I told them they'd need new lines and what not.

It appears they have us "first gen" owners covered. I like the looks of these Heli risers better then my Rox risers.

The risers for the gen2 are done now, guys. I picked my bike up at Heli Bars on Saturday. 600 miles back to DC in comfort.

I'm 5'8" and wear a 16.5 34 shirt, 30 " inseam. Such a good fit now.

Gen 2 looks to be up at least an inch and back 1.0 to 1.5?

 

[Davesax36]

1.5 both ways.

With the setback can you use a tank bag?

Ok, I must be ageing faster than I thought, cannot find Gen 2 on their website..................

I think I might put these on my bike, I been looking at the "Rox" risers, but after putting a set on a friend's BMW, I didn't like all the adjustments, which made it harder to get them straight. ::021::

Thanks. Heli-bars are great quality. Not sure that I'd need them. Still learning the bike at this point. So far the Gen2 position suits me.

Won't be available for at least a month. You're not crazy.

Will you need to extend the lines with the heli risers for gen 2?

 

[Davesax36]

You can see the short extension line in the pics I posted of the tank bag. The clutch line just moves the bracket.

Just an update. I now have over 4k miles with these risers on. Absolutely no shoulder pain. I know Harry (from Heli Bars) is at Sturgis. If anyone wanted to sneak in there and order some, it might push his availability up a bit. I can't recommend them enough.

I've use helibars in the past. They have great customer service I wonder what the price is on these?

I believe they'll be in the same range as those for the gen 1. Probably $130-150
