Heli Modified BMW G310GS HeliBars Handlebar Risers
Product Information: HeliBars Handlebar Riser
The HeliBars Handlebar Riser is a product designed to provide a more
comfortable riding experience for motorcycle riders. The product is designed
to be installed on the handlebars of a motorcycle and is compatible with the
2017+ BMW G310 GS/R models. The handlebar riser is 1 1/8 inches (28.7mm)
taller and 1 1/4
inches (31.8mm) closer to the rider. The installation of the HeliBars
Handlebar Riser is important to ensure the safety of the rider. Improper
installation could result
in serious injury or death. Therefore, it is recommended that a qualified
mechanic installs the product. If specific instructions are not included for
the motorcycle model, the installation process is simply a reversal of the
disassembly process. It is important to note the location of lines and cables
and to clean the fork tubes
before installation.
After installation, it is important to check the clearance of cables, hydraulic lines, wires, fairing, and fuel tank by moving the bars lock to lock. All hardware should be torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications. If there are any installation questions, customers can call 1-800-859-4642.

Caution: make sure lever doesn’t contact control housing when the lever is pulled all the way in. Adjust if needed.
- To create additional slack in the clutch cable, left side wire loom (See Photo #6). On the left side of the steering head you will see the front brake hydraulic line (See Photo #6, blue arrow).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT POWDER COATED HELIBARS
HeliBars® are fi nished 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 fi nish 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 fi nal adjustments are made; in this way you will lessen the possibility of scratching.
NOTE
Powder coat fi nish is not indestructible, there are chemicals which may react
negatively when applied to fi nish. Brake fl uid may cause deterioration of the
fi nish. 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 fi knish. 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!
Sincerely,
Harry Eddy, President
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.
