Will this work

I see helibars makes a riser for the k1200s. To me the top tree looks some what similar as r1200s as to how the bar attaches.
Helibars is closed until monday so I am just putting this out there to see if anyone thinks these will work on the R . Here is the link that shows the riser and there are more pictures that you can zoom in to get a close up.

I would say it should work. However I have no idea what the cables will want to do. My biggest complaint with just about any aftermarket barback is the lack of a hard indexing point so that the angles are symmetric. I constantly get customers through the shop who install their own stuff and think the world of it only to get on the bike for a test ride and the handle bars being all jacked up.

I thought the same thing but A&S told me they had checked and it won't work.

I am going to take some measurments in the morning as my garage is about 10 degrees right now . Did A&S say why they did not work or did they just give a non descript answer .

I'm not sure if you were looking for an alternative to RapidDog's, he makes some nice ones. Check out his site....

These guys have one that works and I saw the parts myself at SFBMW. I don't know about cables though.

I have seen that one but I am trying to find one that is better looking . If I do not find what I want I will end up with the verholen which is the lenker , I have until mid april to make my choice .
