Installation Overview

* Cover the fuel tank with a protective cover.

Required Tools:

3/8 drive Torque wrench
M6 hex drive

Place protective shop rags over the fuel tank. ( See Photo #1 ) Remove four
screws and handlebar clamp cap. Hold bar so it doesn’t slip and damage anything. Place handlebar lower knurled mounting area into a shop rag to protect risers. Get out Tour Performance riser and four mounting screws provided as shown in photo #1.
Clean tops of factory risers. Set Tour Performance adapter into factory risers as shown in ( See Photo #2 ). Install all four screws and thread them in three or four turns. Tighten the forward two screws first to 18 ft lbs., followed by the rear two.
Position handlebars into clamps and adjust left or right to even knurling location. ( See Photo #3 ) It is advised to use an assistant to install bars. The top handlebar clamp cover needs to be orientated as shown in ( See Photo #4 ). The vee (red arrow) needs to face forward, towards the front wheel. Place cover over knurls and install all four factory screws and turn them three or four turns. Snug the forward two screws first, adjust bars up or down to desired angle then torque forward two screws first to 18 ft lbs. ( See Photo #5 ). Torque the rear two screws.
CAREFULLY turn bars SLOWLY to left and right steering stops and make sure hand guard inner mounts do not contact the fuel tank. ( See Photo #6 ) If there is going to be interference, loosen hand guard components and slide mounts up bar tubes to allow clearance. Re-check to confirm, then retighten hand guard mounts.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

ABOUT POWDER COATED HELIBARS

HeliBars® are finished with a polyester powder coating. The polyester is recommended for outdoor use because of it’s excellent UV resistant quality; if we were to use an epoxy it would tend to fade and chalk pretty quickly when exposed to sunlight and UV rays.

Care must be taken during installation because the finish can be scratched by the sharp surfaces of the controls and master cylinder clamps. When mounting the master cylinders to bars, do not let them move around the bars with the caps loose. Mount them in the proper position and hand tighten the screws until final adjustments are made; in this way you will lessen the possibility of scratching.

NOTE: Powder coat finish is not indestructible, there are chemicals which may react negatively when applied to finish. Brake fluid may cause deterioration of the finish. We do not recommend the use of acetone or similar chemicals for cleaning purposes. We would recommend the use of an over-the- counter adhesive remover (such as Goo Gone) for the removal of any extraneous material. Please read labels directions for any cleaning/polishing product before use. If you have any questions regarding the use of any over-counter- products with the HeliBars, please call us before applying them to the powder coated finish.
If care is taken during installation, your HeliBars will continue to look as good as when they were new. They will look great for years to come with a bit of wax and careful cleaning. Thank you for your purchase, ride safe and enjoy!

Trailering with HeliBars®

HeliBars clip ons and handlebars must not be used as the primary holding points for tie downs while trailering. As with your stock bars applying extreme force to the ends of the bars can bend the bars or rotate them on their mounts.
Use a wheel chock and pull the machine down and forward using soft ties or similar, attached to the lower triple clamp.
Bars should only be used as secondary attachment points to steady the motorcycle from lateral sway.
Failure to follow these guidelines can cause damage to the bars and the motorcycle, and may also void our warranty.
