WTB Helibars

I'd like to do some touring in a couple weeks, Does anyone have Helibars HB9709 that they'd sell?
I tried to purchase some and they are sold out.

You're going to have to go with somebody else because if Heli is sold out - the network is sold out and two weeks is out of the question. You might try Convertibar - there are others. The only other option to put you close to Heli geometry is a Honda bar off a VFR. I think the years are '94-97.

inderocker is an unknown quantity at this point
Check out Swatt clip-on's http://www.swattmotorcycle.com/
Much cheaper than the HeliBars. Ask Lazn how he likes his.

I got the Swatts on my 954 front end. They work well and am happy with them, though I still plan to cut the actual bars shorter so as to not have as much overlap on the inside.

I am not sure what the smaller ones for the stock forks are like, but I'd expect the quality to be equally high, and Bill was great to work with.

I have a pipe cutter here that will cut that if need be.

The 2 ebay links are no good, they don't actually product and canceled my order, damn.
I talked to customer service at Helibar, It turns out that the Helibars for Superhawk are discontinued because it was not a good seller and most on-line vendors do not keep inventory (including Europe).
The Swatts look good $159

PM sent, but truth be told I much prefer the VFR (94-97) bars thus the PM regarding my heli's.

handlebar conversion

Bought RSI angled risers and flat bars. The conversion cost me around $130 and did not have to modify fairing, could not be happier as the bike is more comfortable and is easier to handle. All stock cables worked barely.
