VTR helibars on a 98 VFR, will it work?

Just wondering if the VTR1000 heli's will swap onto my 98...???

 

If the fork tubes are the same diameter then yes.

 

I put super hawk bars on my 99 they've work great

 

Why guess? Call the folks at Heli..

Even if the ID of the bars fits the fork tubes, what about clearance? Slapping something on and finding out the hard way in a corner that they don't quite fit ain't too smart.

A tip: If one of the chicas at Heli answers the phone. Bypass her. They talk a whole bunch of shit and don't really have a clue.

 

I made the swap years ago. As I recall, I did have to make a slight modification because of the locating nubs.

Still better IMO to call Heli..

I put a set on my 91 years ago. About three years ago the bike tipped over and did some crunchwork on the fairing the shift lever and bent the bar. I called Heli to see if the one bar could be straightened. Talked to the head dude there after wading through the chicas who think they were hired on to protect the boss from guys like me..

The guy tells me it's not a good idea to try to bend the bar and gives several really good reasons why. I ask if I can get just one new bar. Nope, they don't make that type for 91s any more but have a better version. He cuts me a bunch of slack on a new set.

Bottom line? IMO it's better to talk to the manufacturers sometimes when specific info is needed. Many of these outfits are not that big and unlike Honda enjoy talking directly to their customers.

Better too when kludging a bike together with a bunch of unknowns and guess work especially when the steering and hand controls are involved. Better a phone call than a hospital bill or a really nice funeral.

Still got the old Helis' If anybody need a LH bar for a 91.. $25.00 and you pay the shipping.

Perfect for a guy with one arm.. (great sales pitch huh?)
