Our Tour Performance Handlebar Bridge (Handlebar Riser) for the 2006-2014 US & European Model Yamaha FJR1300's.
Since introducing the replacement triple clamp for the FJR we have
heard from many users that wondered why we went with this design vs. a
standard riser under the stock handlebars. The triple clamp afforded
the rider a many benefits first there was the benefit of moving the bars
closer to the rider (risers alone wouldn't have accomplished this)
second we narrowed the stock triple clamp to gain slack in lines and
third we gave it a two pinch bolt design vs. the stock single. While
the benefits were substantial we had many that didn't want to change the
triple clamp out due to the cost for installation and the price of the
product. Recently, with the introduction of HST bars for other models
we have had a clammoring for HST bars for the FJR. We brought the bike
in house with the full intention of producing a set of HST (Horizon
Sport Touring, multi adjustable bars.) However, upon close inspection
and some design work we determined the cost to the end user would be too
great. It would have required all new lines, wiring and the controls
would have needed to be altered. So we came up with the next best
thing. The HeliBars Tour Performance Handlebar Bridge.
Mounts directly under your stock handlebars and offers 3 adjustable
locations. Whether you want a sport bike feel or the ultimate tour
performance machine you will find your ideal "Comfort Zone." Kit
includes a hydraulic line extension to lengthen your brake line. All
other lines remain stock. Riser is pre-drilled to accept a Ram Ball or
other after market device (hole is 3/8" x 16 thread pitch.) Easy
installation, in under 1.5 hours.
