How many run Heli bars on a Thruxton? I emailed Heli and asked about buying a set but lower then the 4 3/4 inch rise. I would like to see a set with the bars just over the top of the triple clamp, not something looking like the old "Z" bars! Any thoughts on this?
I tried the OEM clip ons for a couple of weeks prior to the switch. I loved the way they looked and if C5,C6 and C7 in my neck weren't just a tad right of center I would still be using the factory bars. Unfortunately the pain in my neck got the best of me.
The Heli's are high quality and a very easy install.
In my opinion a 3" vs a 4.75" is a moot point as I expect they will whack you good for the shorter "one-off" bars should they decide to do them.
BUy a nice set of stock Heli's and spend you time riding not worrying about an inch or so of metal.
