Helibars on ST1100 - plastic cover goes bye-bye, correct?

The plastic cover cannot be used with the Helibars, correct? How does that look? Personally I like the looks of the cover. OTOH, it may give more room for the GPS, etc.

I've only seen one photo of Helibars on ST1100. Anyone have links to others or can post a few?

I have never seen Heli bars on an ST1100 that had the plastic cover. With some modification it might be done but I haven't heard of anyone trying it. There was someone that put out a kit to make the dash look nicer with the Heli bars. I don't know if they are still around. My opinion of the looks with the Heli bars is not good but then the reason to use them is for comfort-not looks.

The cover can be made to fit with a flip-chip bar raise; but, the ignition's keyhole will be recessed so you'll have to have a longer key made.

I don't think you can make the cover fit with a Heli-bar and the ignition area would be *really* recessed (lost in the hole!) if you were some how to fit the cover.

If you go with the Heli-bars and think about "dressing the exposed parts up" I would recommend *NOT* polishing any of the exposed parts... some body did and the sun's reflection almost blinded them!
