After riding my bike on a 2741 mile trip last week, I decided it was finally time to do something about my handlebars and seat. After reading the info on here and Russell's website I decided that the handlebars need to be done first. I remember reading an article in Rider Magazine about a year ago that said that Helibars was working on Horizon ST handlebars for the FJR1300. https://www.ridermagazine.com/gear/helibars-horizon-st-multi-adjustable-handlebars-product-review.htm After I couldn't find any info on their website, I e-mailed them. Here is the e-mail string.
Jennifer,
Damn! I wish I had Known! I actually rode my bike through Cornish, ME week before last.
It was that trip that convinced me that I need to do something about my handlebars.
Oh well, its probably for the best. My buddy probably wouldn't have wanted me on the back
of his BMW for the thousand mile ride back to Kentucky. I'll post this info on the FJR Forum.
Maybe we can find you somebody closer who wants a free set of handlebars.
Thanks,
Anthony

Hi Anthony
We are currently trying to locate a bike for R&D. If you know anyone in
the New England Area have them contact us. The owner of the loaner gets
the first production set FREE.
Kind Regards,
Jennifer

So the bottom line is: If somebody in the northeast will let Helibars use their bike for development, they get a free set of handlebars(about a $700 value)and then we can all have them.
