    We have a set at the Honda dealer I work at. Measured them up and they are 42 or 43mm dia. They are Helibars. Not sure what the fit or whats important to you. Email me at parts @ actionhonda.ca if your interested.

    Try getting past the chicas that answer the phones at Heli. They don't know shit and have the idea that God put them on Earth to protect the owners from fools who want bars for older bikes..

    My 91 tipped over and one bar was bent. Time for a new set or so I thought. The chicas said no, so being one who does not believe everything I hear, see or find on the net asked to talk to one of the engineers. The folks at Heli built me a set of bars to fit my 91 just fine. BTW I have the old set, one bent and one not for sale. Twentyfive bucks and you pay the shipping.

    Not to hijack the thread, but if anyone has a set of heli bars for a 5th gen (1998-2001) please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    not sure if it helps but wouldn't any 41mm helibars work? (if the 4th gen is still 41mm or is it 43mm?). anyway, if it is 41mm, I would think the SV650, zx6r, CBR F3 or VTR1000 would work. Not sure what 43mm fork tube bikes. I'm trying the opposite. I'm going to try putting a set of woodcraft lower clips on instead of the current helibars on my 93. Just seems too upright for my taste. That's also why I ask about the cross-compatibility. Woodcraft and Vortex all list the same part numbers for the VFR 3rd gen as with the above mentioned bikes.

    Will the bars fit in the bags? Everyone with a few exceptions.

    4th Gens are 41mm. IF you can't find any Helibars (i've been looking for a couple of years) 5th Gen bars are a bit higher and rearward. I've got a set I haven't tried yet but they look to be about an inch different each way. Easier and cheaper than Helis.
