Where did you find them for that price? I've been thinking about checking them out.

485 is a great price. For other folks here...what did they charge you for installation? Glad you like them. A RDL saddle is next for me.

I had two tires mounted and balanced at the same time, total labor was around $275
I need to find longer throttle cables instead of re-routing the cables through the side opening in the engine/frame box. My MCCruise control unit sits in that location and I don't think I can bend the cables around and through that hole and still have the cruise control function correctly.
Has anybody installed the multi adjustable risers with the MCCruise unit installed?
I've heard that the police model cables may be longer.

The police cables are an inch or two longer. But even with the police cables I still had to route them out the side with the multi axis bars.
Thanks. Guess I might need a totally custom length cable then. Can't live without my cruise.
I assume you mean they wouldn't work even with the extensions they provided?
The extensions are for the hydraulic lines (front brake and cluch). Those lines are not re-routed. The stock non police hydraulic lines with the extensions worked fine. There are no extentions provided for the thottle cables, hence the need to reroute them. I've never seen the mc cruise installed, it sounds like it may be in the location of the front abs modulator on non abs bikes. If that is the case I would hope that you could still snake the thottle cables out the side of the frame. They don't need that much room. Having not seen your situation it is a guess on my part. If you do find a source for longer cables post it up, as while routing them out the side works I'm not fully happy with it in a way only an engineer would understand.

Ah, that makes more sense. I'll keep looking for cables that will work and post what I find.

Shake Down ride results: A 246 mile jaunt last Monday with the new bars confirms NO BACK, NECK OR SHOULDER PAIN after five+ hours on the bike. Previously, the discomfort would start to creep up after as little as 45 minutes. The new seating position inspires more confidence! Cheers!!
How close does the Gen III Helibar riser get you to upright position?
Not a question that is easily answered as everybody's body isn't the same. I'm bolt upright most of the time and very happy that way.
Previously I didn't feel much of a forward lean but it was enough to put too much weight on my wrists to be comfortable for any real length of time. The Gen 3 Heli fixed that for me.
