I need a pair of setback risers. I have bought Helibars and risers for other bikes. But those Rox Risers look a bit more adjustable. Your Humble Opinions are needed! Also why you lean towards your choice.
Also I may buy the Clearwater aux lights. I like the high/low ability without a bigger controller like Denali uses. Tabasco, didn't you say you had a favorite? I was trying to remember what it was Baha??
TIA

Have clearwater lights on two of my bikes best lights I have ever had and I have been thru numerous light sets over the years.

I have a friend who has two sets and they are definitely bright even on the lower setting. They are expensive but this may be one of those instances that you do get what you pay for. He has the Darla's. What do you have?

If you have a Gen 1 there are lots of options. Gen 2 not so much.

I have the Heli bars on mine and IMO they are just ok, small improvement over OE setting but honestly I feel the handle bar ergonomics are wrong for me.
It is a personal thing as everyone is different. I use to get a lot of shoulder pain in the original position and the Heli helped with that but not alot.
On my GS this was never an issue and I racked on a lot of miles on it.
Maybe ROX may had been a better option but I doubt it now, if I was to do anything about it, it would be a complete bar swap out.

I just installed Heli on my bike last week. For me I choose them over Rox because they raise but also bring the bar closer. When I closed my eyes and placed my arms in the position they naturally wanted to rest, for me it was up and back. I believe the Rox only raises.

Install on the Heli was easy. I do recommend.

Krista on the Tenere and Sevina on my Concours 1400 , I have the yellow tint lens savers on for day time riding and either remove the covers or put the clear lens covers for night riding . The lights were great Saturday on my trip back from Kansas City last several hours were after dark.

They say that both of those have a spot light 8° beam. Can you describe how that looks as you go down the road at night? Are the ditches well lit up so you can see big animals as we have a lot of deer around here and I am going where there will be moose, elk, and such.

I have the aux lights aimed to supplement the headlight beam making the combined light pattern wider and reach farther. Yes I can seen off to the edge of the road . Best lighting setup I ever had was on my Iron Butt Rally bike a set of Piaa 910 and one Piaa 8 inch light with 85/130 watt H 4 this setup .

Just ordered the Helibars due to the hydraulic extension and the other two Helibar products I bought were excellent. I'll report back.
