Helibar Risers

Are Helibar the best or any other opinion? I could use about an inch or two, no more.

I'm trying to source a superbike bar style setup from a Japanese vendor through Webike Japan. I currently have a 1" riser plate installed by the PO but prefer a bit more since I'm wanting to tour on my 2022. The Helibar risers at 3/4" wouldn't be near tall enough for me.

I've dealt with Spiegler for years...very solid company with great tech support.
I've bought numerous LSL handlebar kits from them in the past, which are no longer available.
The ABM kits are very similar and more reasonably priced since it does not include a top triple clamp.
If you don't like the contours or position of the handlebars, you can use something else.
The 1" risers can't be compared for comfort.
They also manufacture brake lines and are the only one's available where the banjo fittings can be clocked or adjusted when installing.
Hope this helps.
Hank

That Spiegler kit is very nice but requires changing out (and the dreaded ABS flushing) the front brake lines. The stock brakes (Brembo) on my '22 work so well I don't want to affect them in any way if possible. The kit (Hurricane) I'm trying to get from Japan claims they use all stock hoses, lines, wiring. We'll see. I won't dismiss the Spiegler kit out of hand just really want to avoid changing/flushing ABS lines.

If the kit includes a new brake line, ask them how long it is...then measure the original one on the bike.
On my 2013, they were the same length (13" or 14" IIRC) and thus did not require changing the brake line over.
I got lucky, you might too!

Good tip, I'll be sure to look into that if I go that route.
