Comment section in a nutshell: "You pronounce Dremel wrong!" oh man, I know I suck lol.

[@MrBluetini]

Not gonna lie, I was sitting here like "please stop using that word" great video thou as with all your vfr800 content.

[@_Bryant.R]

Lol. It is pretty funny. Sorry if people offended you.

[@coolvideos8864]

Seriously, who the fuck cares how you say things? Jeeze.... get a life guys lol

[@brandonhord6011]

I use hair spray to install handle bar grips. When it`s wet, it acts as a lubricant so it easily slides on. And when it dries, it acts as a mild glue that firmly sticks but is easy to remove if you need to. I use a air compressor with a needle nose end to take it off. Just slide the needle nose in between the handle bar and the grip and blow air in it while you slide it off.

[@Szlejer]

When I bought my VFR I really wanted to have Helibars, but 4k miles later I got adjusted to the stock bars and find them pretty comfortable even on longer rides.

[@zorsenothorse]

Tip for the grips spray hairspray into and on the bars and slide on will act as a lubricant, when he hairspray dries it will act like a glue (you can still remove later it's not permanent)

[@DA2THFA1RY]

*The way he says Dremel frustrates me*

[@dirtbikes_and_drones]

Pickle Rick what the fuck is a druh mel?

[@daddydubz88]

Lmfao for real though!

[@TakeTurnsGaming]

haahahaha I thought it was weird too!

"you guys"

[@flying-with-ryan]

Nice upgrade. Helibars are a life saver

[@UncleWally3]

I’m hitting 66 (50 years of hard & long riding). So, I’m thinking of installing a set of HeliBars on my ‘09 VFR next summer. That said, the OEM bars work great too. Thanks for posting this video, but I’d like to know what’s really lost and gained from the HeliBars on this particular bike . . .

[@robertp9370]

Walter Wilkins did you ever install the helibars? How did they turn out? Do you still have your stock handlebars?

[@UncleWally3]

Robert P. Yes, I did install the HeliBars; I do still have the stock bars. I’ve only had one season using the HeliBars so the jury is still out. That said, with no fault to HeliBar who were excellent in both product and service, I found the purchase process laborious and expensive. The last few years, polices from America render cross border purchases highly problematic - so, as a Canadian, I’ve simply stopped buying from the USA. Too many new senseless tariffs and border delays have needlessly increased the price of the product. If I lived in the states the price would be fair, but now that the current administration impedes cross border commerce, it’s too risky to chance buying anything. Bottoms line: HeliBars deliver what they promise to deliver, but if you’re not buying inside the USA, I’d stay away from the product or at a minimum, try to find out the cost and potential delays prior to purchasing.

[@robertp9370]

Walter Wilkins I will pay $100 for your old stock vfr handlebars if you ever become interested in selling them. Or if you want to sell your helibars instead let me know too.

[@UncleWally3]

Robert P. Sorry, I’ll be keeping the original. Good hunting though, and keep safe!

[@Sinaimedve007]

Vfr sound at the end... EPIC !

[@bradhorne6552]

Is there much of a difference between the helibars compared with risers..I installed motocnc risers, they have taken a lot of pressure off the wrist but still not as comfortable as I want, and was wondering if the helibars improve it even more ?????

[@michaelbelfast1]

I wonder can you use risers with helibars?

[@wereyouaking]

Gonna be installing a set of these soon. After 7 hours of riding my wrists are fooked!

[@hz2035]

is it really that bad on VFR800? A lot of ppl using it for sport turing and the geometry isnt far from some naked bikes...I am thinking about buying this bike..

[@wereyouaking]

@@hz2035 its a bit more aggressive than a naked but not much. Still too much for me for a few hours

[@peter.baerentzen]

I would never recommend retightening brake-lines with old washers as shown - copper washers should be annealed if reused; alu ones goes straight in the bin for new ones. Always torque banjo-bolts with correct value - if memory serves me correct that is 34 Nm on the VFR. So often you see over-torqued bolts on bikes - threads in aluminum are not that strong. Brakes is one place I never want to compromise... that goes for leaks, weakened threads etc... just my 5 cents

[@themanjs]

Got it today on my VFR 800, feels dif, thank you for tip on this :)

[@robertp9370]

js do you still have your stock vfr handlebars?

[@n-gov]

Hey dude, you should do a USB or 12v outtake install on the VFR! Love the channel, good stuff!

[@fixumup1]

Used compressed air to blow the grip off much easier. This is the way the pros have done it for 45 years

[@sk2paul]

Great video. Thanks. Did you find it made a big difference to the comfort of the bike?

[@SteveMuir]

Good clear instructions.

[@alessandrol7752]

Nice upgrade

[@FangedBeauty]

for someone with long arms and legs, is this mod a good thing? It looks (the after) like a more relaxed position...but is it dependant on your length? Thnx for the awesome vid btw.

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

Would bar risers not be an easier and quicker and cheaper way to achieve this effect ? Just asking for your thoughts 👍

[@JShel14]

SO HELPFUL! I'm going to buy a pair for my VFR right friggin now.

[@beanwithbaconmegarocket]

great video, boss

[@michelm5903]

Hi, thank you for this video. Which kind of seat have you ?

[@mikes.1882]

HeroRR my vf750 is not enough anymore. I feel the need for more. Have any cam or carb mods address this need for Quick? Like for instance a vfr 800 in the magma chassis? I'm not finding information. Suggestions other that a new Indian??

[@ThaKenMan]

Yes,been waiting for this one. This will be the deciding factor on if I get these. Can you got lock to lock without hitting the tank?

[@HeroRR]

Yes

[@Triippy]

What purpose do the tabs you cut off serve? And why do you have to cut them off?

[@HeroRR]

It's a stopper for the brake line to prevent you from orienting it wrong and kinking the line. Because the helibars changes the angle of the lines you have to remove the tabs so you can loosen the line slightly (not enough to introduce air) and rotate it down a bit more to provide less of a kink. Otherwise you can leave the tabs but then you will need to remove the line completely and re-installing on the other side of the tab which will be a lot more work because then you will have to most likely bleed the brakes and on a combine brake system that is no quick task.

[@Triippy]

@@HeroRR awesome thanks a lot for the detailed response. Got heli bars and need to install them soon

[@walterb6212]

He question. What are the knobs on the sid3. Tear shape.

[@robertp9370]

Do you still have your stock clip ons for your vfr? The ones you took off to do the Heli bar upgrade. I sent you a message on Instagram

[@eireannach9072]

I have clicked the notification bell but still dont get notified when you post a new video... :/

[@HeroRR]

:( try turning the bell off and then click it again.

[@gardbee]

Is there still a OEM heated grip set up for this?

[@Jabba410]

I noticed you have the forks raised in the triple clamps from std.....

[@bwxmoto]

Dre-melled LOL Dude

[@UncleWally3]

I’ll repost the question I had (and still have) a year ago: What’s the word on HeliBar effecting comfort? How do they actually work?

[@HeroRR]

As i believe was explained in the video (i could be wrong). The bars will move the position of your hands higher and back more. Thus having your back slightly straighter. This will improve comfort. In my opinion it made a big difference and was well worth it. You can usually find a set on eBay pretty cheaply. I believe i got mine for $180. Was well worth the cost. Highly recommend.

[@HeroRR]

I only say it might have been explained in this video. But i may have only explained it on my cbr video.

[@UncleWally3]

HeroRR - Thanks. I’m struggling with the decision to mount these bars or not. I’ve been riding long and hard on many bikes for about fifty years. At 67 years old, long rides on my fully farkled 2009 VFR is getting a tad challenging. I have other more ergonomically comfortable bikes, but I can’t give up on the VFR which remains one of my favorites. Guess it’s time to make one more “improvement” to this already excellent motorcycle.

[@elleryjqueen1712]

good video but the music gets on my nerves

[@mimiskyrits]

Do u still have the stock bars?

[@cookaboorra]

Oh, well, on mine I simply inverted left and right. Obtained a + 2,5 cm instantly.

[@robertp9370]

cookaboorra what do you mean? How?? I don’t understand what you mean when you say you inverted your handlebars to achieve 2.5cm closer to you or in height. How did you achieve this?

[@karenthomas9250]

Yeah elaborate plz

[@themotofixery]

Drimell?

[@sierra659]

DREM-ULL, NOT DREMMEL

[@Dannyyzeee]

I'd never imagine anyone needing helibars on a vfr800

[@llerradish]

Daniyal S. I guess he wants to look like a sport bike but ride like a Harley. LOL

[@TakeTurnsGaming]

I cant imagine him on a cbr900rr..

[@karenthomas9250]

Fuck it throw some ape hangers on that bitch

[@jasonyoung6420]

Drahmelle; must be Italian!

[@Mrtweet81]

No it’s Dréme’llé, it’s actually french I’ll have you know 🥖

[@alessandrol7752]

Btw how did it go with the bolt on the Ktm450g . Did you get it off ?

[@HeroRR]

Still working on it. When it’s fixed I’ll post it on Instagram.

[@alessandrol7752]

HeroRR Alright, hope it will work !

[@TheMrZomboss]

I actually thought they were only for motorkhana

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

Why not just fit 20mm risers. Only 5 minute job 👍

[@tamas456]

what is your tall, im 175cm and you?

[@cbr6864]

What the fuck is a dremell

[@coolvideos8864]

Sick of seeing a man in a dress on the squarespace advert!

[@camo8768]

Legit the worst music I've ever heard

[@joseluisfernandezperez8629]

How to spoil a wonderful bike.

[@modoudrammeh]

hahaha higher bars on that really?

[@llerradish]

I was offered a free set of helibars and declined I'd rather keep the stock bars.

[@HeroRR]

I think you made a mistake my friend.
