First ride today with grip puppies and lighter weight gloves and the cramp was much reduced and no tingling fingers after either so pretty happy with that!
Yes, the HeliBars are a 'subtle' change, not a dramatic one.
There is a limit to how far you can lift and pivot backward before you start to stretch the cables and pipes.
Also, by the very nature of pivoting adjustments, the further back you move the bars, the lower your lift and the higher you go, the further from the seat they move. 'tis obvious if one bothers to study the geometry but, meh!
An alternative route followed by at least some(?) in here is to fit the bars and top yoke from an R which is more dramatic and doubtless more effective but I have no idea about the downsides.
Was looking at the R conversion option. interesting one that. I saw someone put a set of GT bars on theres also.
I am leaning towards the helibars tbh.. When I was riding today, i was taking turns with each hand and pretending to have them installed and the position they would be in and it does seem like the perfect solution. Just enough to raise them up and back a bit and take a bit of pressure off my hands.
Am curious to see/feel the superbike conversion in person though
