    Does anyone know if there are any differences between the 5th Gen Heli Bars and the 6th Gen Heli Bars? I'm looking to get a set soon but haven't been able to find anything definitive on the issue.

    Both sets bring the bars up 1.25", back 1.5" and retain everything stock. Even the descriptions on the Heli website are almost identical:

    5th Gen Heli Bars Model HB01004

    6th Gen Heli Bars Model HB01003


    I might have a chance to snag some 5th Gen bars cheaper than some new 6th Gen ones and if they are the same, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't hop on it to save some cash. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm Not Sure, (because I have a 4th GEN) but it might be the fork tube diameter-5th gen =41mm, 6th = 43mm dia.

    Thats what I figured was the difference if there was one but I don't know the differences between the viffers yet. I'm still learning about my 6th Gen before focusing on the others. :)
