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.Quote:

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.
Correct!Quote:

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?Quote:

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.Quote:

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

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.Quote:
