Helibars for ZX9R
Just wondering if anybody has put Helibars on their ZX9 2000 model, where they worth it, cost & easy to put on? From what I've red they seem straight forward but any feedback from anyone would be great

No problems but not sure what specs they were.

Re: Helibars for ZX9R
Thanks guys, I might just bite the bullet & get a set, I think they're around $250 - $300 on ebay from the States so I'll have to start saving.

Re: Helibars for ZX9R
Hi Andy,
Just following up on this topic as I also have a ZX9 (2002) which seems to transfer a bit of weight onto my ageing wrists to the point my hands tingle & go numb after about 20 minutes of riding. I was wondering how the Helibars worked out for you or if anyone else can advise on whether they reduce the weight on your wrists sufficiently to warrant their purchase.

Try Woodcraft for riser clip-ons, they are a bit cheaper and are easy to deal with. http://www.woodcraft-cfm.com/cgi-bin/co ... egory=CORI
