    Got the Helibars installed

    It was not a peticularly hard job. I have had the dash apart a number of times with the J&M speakers, Rocky's Risers and LED turn signals. They say a Wing Mechanic takes about 3 hours, and it took me about 4 1/2 while I took numerous breaks, snacks, etc....I found that the Rocky's Risers did fine until I installed the Mustang seat. After being pushed back a few inches, they were not enough. I will say you can get some odd angles on these bars. I love the B, but I have spent a ton of cash trying to get it to fit my 6'1" frame. I think Honda makes their bikes for 5'7" 160 lb riders.

    I now have to go get some DOT 4 brake fluid and will be ready to go after bleeding the brakes and clutch.

    Once you find where you want them, I believe you will love them. For me, I think the magic was in being able to change the grip angle as much as bringing them rearward.
