    Wantone,

    Be interested in observations on the bars, do they always raise or can you get at roughly the same height and simply alter the angle of the bars forward?

    Answer is yes, you should be able to find just about any position you that will work for you. You could even have them forward for more of a sport bike feel if you wanted.

    I would take a reverse. My driveway has just enough angle and a flood lip to make it impossible to foot it there. How much would reverse add? What components make the reverse? A GW guy told me the starter goes reverse polarity. Is that a truism?

    Stro it has something to do with the starter , I know that much. Your buddy is probably right.

    Congrats W. I'm wanting to go there to but I'm trying some risers first.

    Stro, I think you guys are right about the starter and reverse. I'd love to see someone break ground on this

    I don't know the mechanics, but the procedural aspect is turn ignition on, move switch to Reverse, engage engine starter and bike moves backwards.
    It would make sense that the bike would be in First Gear gear, but I wasn't paying that much attention.

    I'v only seen a Winger use reverse once, and it's a strange process to behold. There's no engine rev at all; just the purr of some poor little electric motor trying to move 900 lbs of motorcycle

    I just don't see a reverse adding more weight. I found on the Wing you go to neutral, Flickr da switch to reverse, and press the starter. Sounds like you just need the switch, wiring and an odd or end black thingymajob. Probably not installed because of the bagger persona of the F6B.

    Back on subject for the OP....Helibars. Sorry.

    Still searching for the perfect setup for me and the Helis. To get them where I want them, I have a hard time getting the angle where I want it.
