better riding stance / seatin position / handle bars

[nativeXb12Rbuell]

I'm a short guy 5"7" . i have a 2005 XB12R firebolt. i'm going to lower it so i can have more of my feet on the ground . it seems like I'm leaning to far forward almost to where it feels like im reaching for the bars or leaning on them with my hands . and would like to bring the bars up and back towards me some a few inches to where it is not such an agressive sitting position and alittle more upright .so i dont get as fatigued as fast . and have read about the helibars. . does anyone have them on their Buell and how are they or is there some other bars or something that would help any ideals .

helibars.com

welcome!

it's not an easy thing to beat me in finding a new mod for the buell, but you just did!
first time i'm hearing about these bars and i must say, it looks pretty good. you just might have helped alot of people with this link. [up]

if this helibar isn't enough, you can always put a handlebar on it.

I saw these about a year ago and they weren't sure then if they would work on the Buell. They were actually looking for a customer to buy them and see if they worked. If you did and wrote up installation instruction and notes on mods needed they would give you a discount or something. I thought it was pretty lame to make a paying customer do your dirty work. But it looks like they got it all worked out. Definately a product that more than one 'bolt owner has asked about.

I have the helibars on my 07XB9R. It made a big difference. I didn't even notice the change in riding position but I did notice that my hands, arms and back didn't hurt. The only problem I have was that my forks wouldn't lock with the key. It was a small problem to me. I sent them my clamp and they said all the specs were right so it was probably me. Either way I'm digging them. I bike in being transported from Hawaii to Georgie now so I'm missing it.
