Handlebar risers
 
Hello, Forum! I just bought a 1998 Superhawk in apparently showroom condition despite 29,000 miles. Seriously, it looks like it just rolled out the Honda dealer door but it has some real miles on it. I had this same bike (not the exact same one, but say year & color etc) bought new in 1998 but sold it in 2001, and have regretted it ever since. Well, I have another one now!

I want to make a couple of mods, particularly handlebar risers. I used to have Helibar spacers on my other VTR, but it seems they are no longer available. Does anyone know where a set of Helibar spacers can be had, or if not, can you recommend another system? If I can get 3/4" higher (just about all the fairing will tolerate, it seems), I would be very happy. Thanks,

James

Welcome back James. Heli's are NLA. You'll have a helluva time finding them. My left side was bent in a track off and I've not been able to find a replacement.
Might want to consider Apex.

Another option...

I have a brand new set I'd sell you but they're for RC51 forks.

With the three way adjustability of https://www.apexmfg.com/# bars, I feel they are the best offering right now. Its what i have on my own VTR, and what I use on custom bikes when they want more comfortable bars.
