    I thought the Helis were too expensive at first. Risers helped somewhat. After the RDL seat moved me higher the bars needed help even more than before. I tried to look at several ways to change the bars and everything was also expensive or too complicated. In addition to wanting a higher handlebar I desired my wrist to be at less of an angle and more of a straight forward grip. I bit the bullet and found the install was really easy compared to what I was expecting and mounting on top of the risers was no problem. The adjustability is a huge improvement in comfort, I could have used another inch or two up for my liking but really apricate the ability to adjust where my hands are now located and at what angle. The hardware is all top quality stuff and the cross bar is not nearly in my way as much as I thought it would be. So yes I would say it is worth the money if hand position is important to you.

    I think you have been through this once but, You had enough cable to install the Helibars on top of the risers? When I installed the risers (a while back) I thought I used up all the slack in the cables. Did you have to re-route anything?
