Installation Instructions – Part # HR03167
1” (25mm) Taller, 1 3/16” (30mm) Closer to rider
TOOLS REQUIRED: Torque wrench, 6mm hex drive, 8mm socket, long socket extension
COVER FUEL TANK AND SIDES OF FAIRING WITH PROTECTIVE MATERIAL.
- Remove left and right side cable and wire loom guides. Photo #1 shows the left side guide mounting bolt 8mm ( See Photo #1 ). Photo #2 shows the right side throttle cable guide mounting screw. We used a very long socket extension, as it is diffi cult to reach ( See Photo #2 ). This will increase slack in the lines when the bars are moved left and right to the steering stops.
- Loosen front brake line clamp bolt ( See Photo #3, red arrow ). Rotate the clamp up 90º ( See Photo #3, blue arrow ) and retighten bolt. Grab the upper stay and gently bend out slightly towards the right fork tube ( See Photo #3, green arrow ). This will create needed slack in the front brake hydraulic line and keep the mount from contacting the fairing frame mount.
- Cover the fuel tank with protective material. Pry off the four plastic caps on the handlebar mounting screws. Loosen and remove the four screws and two caps that mount the handlebars ( See Photo #4 ). Set the bars on a shop rag to protect parts.
- Clean the riser tops and set the Tour Performance riser in place ( See Photo #5 ). Thread in all four of the screws provided. Tighten the two forward screws fi rst to 18 ft lbs., followed by the rear two.
- Put the handlebar assembly into position, adjust knurling left or right to center the install factory caps and screws. The fronts have a small dot punched on the tops and these should face forward ( See Photo #6 ). Adjust bars back or forward to desired angle Torque the forward screws fi rst to 18 ft lbs., followed by the rear two.
!!CAUTION!!
HARDWARE MUST BE TORQUED TO SPECIFIED VALUES. THEY MUST NOT BE OVERTORQUED. OVERTIGHTENED HARDWARE CAN LOSE INTEGRITY.

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 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 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!
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.
