Looking to getting a set of adjustable Helibars...whats the install proces like?

[NuckaMan]

I’m currently eye’ing the adjustable Helibar system. From the looks of things, it’s the ticket to dramatically increase my comfort for long-range/multi-day rides.

Anyone have them and installed them yourself? I can see and read that brake/clutch-line extenders are required and included with the system.

I’m quite mechanically inclined so doing the labor myself is not really my concern. But only question is with the clutch/brake bleeding process.
 
Clutch bleed….probably pretty straight forward, but I’ve never bled a bike with ABS.

Any special procedures required with a ABS pump involved?

Installed the Horizon ST bars from Helibars a few months ago. Best farkle by far that I have added to my bike. Pretty straight forward install. Bleeding the clutch was much harder then bleeding the ABS front brakes. My kit came with replacement lines for both clutch and brake down to the junction on either side of the triple tree. I used a MityVac to bleed both. The front brakes you start with the reservoir, then the left caliper then the right. With the MityVac this went like clock work. The clutch you also start with the reservoir but getting it to flow to the bleed screw on the lower left side took about a 1/2 hour of pumping the MityVac and manipulating the clutch handle. Not sure why this is or what actually started the fluid to flow but once it did it only took a few minutes from that point. Also the instructions do not tell you but you have to reroute the throttle cables to the rear side of the forks. This is simple since you have to remove the controls anyway. I think the whole thing took me about 2-3 hours but I was taking my time.

Oh and BTW, it definitely is "the ticket to dramatically increase my comfort for long-range/multi-day rides".

Thanks for the response and giving me an idea what to expect with the install process.

I'm just waiting to see what kinda kick-in-the-nuts I'll be receiving from Uncle Sam before committing $700 buxs.

+1 with what Rhino said. Did a 6500 mile trip with mine. Best comfort mod you can make. Worth the $ IMHO. Pretty easy install for me.
