i have an 06. I have Genmar risers on my bike, but its not enough of a rise or back for me. I am looking for a cheaper alternative to buying a set of Helibars. Does anything exist? Any ideas?

As a super pleased owner of a 5th gen w/ Helis, I'd say bite the bullet and pay the money, my friend. I got mine from a fellow VFRD'r for a little cheaper than new, probably the best way to go about it. I know there are a couple guys on the board that run shops n such, they may be able to give you a break, or maybe kick back a few bucks to the board??

The helis are better constructed then the stockers, IMO, and give great road feel while not killing my lower back. Just my vote lol :biggrin:
