Greetings y'all! Hope I'm not intruding. I have a pair of Heli-bars which I inherited but it's not clear exactly which model they are. They fit 41mm fork tubes and they look like VFR bars, and I was told (for what it's worth) that they came off a Honda CBR or VFR.
I put 'em on E-bay and sold 'em to a guy who was looking for Model HB9402 for 94-97 VFR750s. He said they didn't fit and sent them back. I suspect they are instead VFR 800 (98-01) Part # HB9801, but I thought maybe one of the Wise Ones hereabouts might be able to tell just by lookin'.
Well, I don't know what they are but they don't look like the Heli-Bars I bought for my '03 two years ago. Mine don't have the window cut into the clamp or the printed label. Mine have a pad with 'Heli' cast into the riser. I wonder how often they do product changes or upgrades? Maybe you could contact Heli to help identify them. Here is a pic of mine.
:huh: The Heli's I have on my '01 VFR800 are built with no cast components. The fork locking collar has a stick-on label. Contact Heli Performance, they are great folk to talk to.

Noah, I took a look at the photos: They definately have the same manufacturing characteristics as the ones I have on my '01 Fifth generation VFR ('98-'01) By the looks of the photos from the other member, I would appear that Heli has made an engineering change.
Those are the original Helibar design. They changed a few years ago. I've owned my 99 since 2000 and the fabricated tubinng design was what they offered back then.
I put them on Ebay because I need to get whatever I can get for them, please believe me. But I really appreciate the help from this forum, so if anyone reading this wins the auction, I will absorb the shipping cost. Just include the word 'Snuffleupagus' in your Paypal payment's memo section so I know you've been here, and either don't pay the estimated shipping cost, or do pay it and I will refund it to you.
