My next project is putting these bad boys on, however, I don't know what I did with the instruction manual. Does anyone have the installation manual on Heli-Bars. I remember specific torque specs on the bolts.

You know I went on the website and could not find this, I actually emailed them, which they still didnt get back to me. Thank you. Round of beers on me next rally, whenever that is. BTW, last X-country in 2015 stayed in Avoca, after getting rained on all day, beautiful country.

Thanks again

How far up and out from stock can you go before hitting stuff?

The more I look at the instructions the more I'm realizing the Deluxe model is definitely more involved than the base model I took these off of because of the heated grips. This is the video that started me on the bars:

It should give you all the info you need

Thanks. So I’m “assuming” if bar adjustments are maxed out it doesn’t effect turn radius? I didn’t here him mention that.

For those with a Deluxe F6B and heated grips, the instructions mention using the heater to warm up the grips while taking them off (pia)have to plug up the dash and run the engine.

My Buddy JJ, had me use the Heatgun, get's the job done better and faster, no running engine, and all that other noise.

Done it yesterday, worked great, done in a few hours.

Love my Heli's, up another 6" from stock :)

Did you make a video?

Haha, no video.
Got it all in my mind, the 3rd time :), the first time doing it with Heated grips, just a little slower.

Take your time, make sure you apply plenty of heat to the clutch side grip (L)makes the glue softer, and makes take-off easier, that is the only time-consuming side, the rest is a piece of cake.

Buy some grip glue and apply sparingly and have the foresight to shove it up there quickly, use the bars in the center for grip and use your body weight to assist you to get it up there.

If you go back to Kury ISO grips, use Zipties on the ribs for chinch down, way easier than muscle the grips to close, and plenty of liquid soap to grease it up.

If you dont have a heatgun I guess the only option is the warmer, unless Home Depot rents them.

I'll grab one today, how long did you keep it on the clutch side before you yanked it, approximate.

I estimate repositioning the collar 4-5 times, and I used about 90% off the available travel, time-wise 30 min?

This is the only PIA procedure, I've seen that Youtube where they used alcohol, I just cannot grasp the concept of how it would penetrate that well to make difference.

That sleeve is pretty tight, and I think that the heat option is the more viable one, and makes sense, to put the adhesive into a flexible/pliable state prior to receiving horizontal force for removal.

Check the wire intermittently to make sure you are not hung up somewhere while it travels off the bar.

Best of luck to you, I send you some install Mojo.

Im going to need it. I dod it in my 2013, that 5+ years ago, so I have a vague recollection. Once I get passed the clutch side it sounds fairly rote.

One more thing, I'm going to need those brake and clutch extenders, correct?

Kinda late to respond, but yes it would be needed :), you are going to run short without them.

I just found this from my when I bought the bars for the 2013, will it help at all.

Yup, that is what you gonna need to remove the left-hand side grip, should come standard with your new kit from Rick.
