    New RDL seat and Heli bars

    well its been a few thousand miles since I've installed them both, and I have to say, it was money well spent, they both make my riding experience so much more comfortable .
    I had the seat first and that helped my butt on the longer rides, but it added extra height and distance from the bars, which already were uncomfortable , but after adding the Heli Bars...wow what a difference .
    I installed the seat myself, really easy . I was reluctant to try to install the bars myself, even with the confidence of some of your advice on here, so I paid a buddy $60 and he installed them, he said it wasn't hard just a little tedious . I did sit and watch him work to keep him company, and after watching him, I was glad I paid him LOL.
    My same buddy is going to install my Torq Loopz for me, and I am going to ask him to do the air filter too LOL hopefully he will be as cheap as the bars.

    The combination is the ultimate duo for maximum comfort. With so many variable positions in the Heli's you can dial in the perfect angle for optimal comfort. $60 is a steal, whatever he charges you for the air filter - pay it. You can't put a price on the dark journey to the abyss

    Air filter change is not that bad. It just takes time.
    I watch a YouTube video and do what they do.
    But give yourself 3-4 hours.

    Its definitely doable, as I've done it but I equate it with pulling your own tooth - you can do it but its much less painlful if you pay someone else to do it.
