I have heard good things about Apex

Apex Store

These are fully adjustable and you can easily alter the height for track/street use. Call them for fitment questions.

I am interested as to what people have to say as well, I have tried a few and none really fit well, due to how the OEM bars are tapered to fit over the fork legs. Also the routing of the clutch cable gets funky too if you use the black plastic guide that fits over the ign switch. Another problem I find is that with some upper fairings, the aftermarket clip-ons will contact them at full lock. Not a big deal as I dont go full lock often, but its still an inconvenience for low speed maneuvering as you have to watch your fingers

I just put the Heli Bars on mine and after a 700KM run (435miles) my wrist did not hurt a bit. Before with the factory bars I could not drive more than 300KM and my wrist would be sore.

Heli Modified, Maine | HeliBars

I was in their shop when I picked these up and they gave me a tour. Great people and even better product. These bars are machined out of a solid piece of aluminum.

The fit is perfect and the quality is as good as it gets. Much better than stock.

To the OP, it would help to know what you're trying to accomplish. Higher? Lower? Wider? Narrower? Adjustable? Different bend? Lighter? More bling?

i'm trying to get this clip on in hoping it might help my body position, evidently, my shoulder isn't as natural as other rider, and i was advised that wider position on clip on would of took care of that problem..

what do you think?
