    A couple weeks ago on some thread here I asked if TM makes a pair that work on Heli bars and some replied with they have them. I email TM twice, no response. They don't list gen 5 VFR in the Heli bar catagory.
    Does anyone have the model number of the ones that fit?
    I have two TM's now, KLR and a BM, they both use shafts with an Oring that expands to grip the inside of the bar, my Heli bar has a fixed bracket inside the bar, so Throttlemeisters that fit must be totally different. :confused:

    Thanks

    I have Heli bars with Throttle Meister installed on my 2007 VFr. I also have Pollygrip (brand) grip heaters installed in the handle bar(internal cartridge style heater) and there was no problem. If the forks are the same diameter I would think that you could use gen 6 Heli bars. What's the internal bracket for?

    About one inch inside the Heli bar is a fixed "wall" with the female thread to hold on the bar end weights. I have tapped on it with a drift, but it feels like part of the bar.
