Harry, I just installed mine yesterday. Your video is a BIG help, sir. It was a pc of cake. I did not realize what few inches back could do to my arms. It is so worth it !!!!!!!!
Hello Al Glad to hear your install went smoothly. Small changes can make a huge difference and I think we found a perfect cost effective solution for touring comfort. Thanks for responding!
@@harryeddy2208 Thank you for the reply. Not only the price is right, the kit is so well made, I work with machine shops a lot and know when a pc is well thought of. Keep up the good work. Thanks again.
Harry, thanks so much for this video! I was able to install mine on my 2020 DCT Tour with ease! I also appreciate the little chat we had over the phone! Your product is just what I needed to make my bike much more comfortable for me! I went on a 600-mile trip the day after I installed them and they do make a world of difference for me. I'm 5'8" and they make the reach easier! Thanks again, Harry!! Stay Safe!!
had the Heli Bars installed today at the Cornish, Maine location. Harry did the install in under an hour and I got to watch - glad I let the professionals do the work - great job. the 115 mile ride home was not the same as the 115 mile ride up - the ride home felt like a different bike. leaning on the backrest was not with my arms stretched all the way out, extremely comfortable - should have done it on my first ride of the year!!!!!!!!!
I highly recommend it I've installed the Hellibars in a 2019 Goldwing with airbag and following the instructions in Harry's video, It has been very easy and quick to install. Now the driving position is more relaxed and the arms are less stretched I have left the Hellibars in sight and I have not put the cover of the cables and screws. It looks pretty good and there is enough space with the handlebars. Thanks for your help Harry. Saludos
Hi J.L, Have you had issues with the bottom console Philips screw rubbing on the bar? If not, can you give the approx. clearance as it passes by the screw? I have 2020 DCT Tour.
Saved me 2 hours, excellent video and makes it a lot easier, thank you Heliboy, I had a set of heli bars on my 2006, I am hoping they will come out with a set for the 2018, but I think with the heated grip design on the 2018 it would not be doable.
Excellent video HeliBoy ..... I don't know why I didn't see it, before installing the fog light (with the switch), I used the crusiman's garage video and he disarms almost the entire front to get to this point and place the switch on the console (more than 1 hour and a half). I will use this video to install the switch to open my garage !!!!!! Thanks so much !!!!!
Bryce Strohbehn I know right! I had to be sure we were sharing a safe shortcut and not a potential nightmare and that always takes time. Glad to help!!
HeliBoy got er done before breakfast. All went perfectly. Thanks again can’t wait to give them a spin. You are right, the new wing leans toward sport touring. Just what I have been waiting for. Thanks again for thinking outside the box.
Ok, I saw the install suggestions at MaxMcAllister Traxxion. I see the range of movement and the explanation he gave. Combined with yours I got it now. Thanks.
I installed these on a '21 Tour DCT today. The step about loosening the front panel mount bracket in order to reposition it slightly upwards can't be done because the bracket is held tightly in position with no free play after the two bolts are loosened. However, after I finished the installation, the bars maintain clearance with the control panel so there's no issue. Even allowing for some manufacturing variation, it looks like there's ample clearance so this likely won't be needed. Good idea to check on your bike of course. The risers work perfectly and are very high quality. I found the OEM location was a little too far forward and the grip angle was a little shallow and didn't fit the natural angle of my hands in the riding position. These risers pivot the grips aft which solves both those problems simultaneously; the reach is reduced and the grip angle increased just enough to be perfect for me.
Anyone. Which setting would be helpful with a searing pain I experience on long rides on the lower neck/upper vertebrae when riding? Sport? or tour? setting. I read on one of the forums this device would help with this type of pain. The older goldwing had some adjustment for this, but not know as I understand. Any help would be appreciated. .
I do not see these on the Helibar website. You do not say what the improvements are over the stock position and what do the adapters provide in changing the handlebar positions. Is there a site that shows what the adapter actually improve? I looked below for a website for this information and pricing but saw nothing.
Hello Harry, my name is Jim. I’m trying to install the helibar on my 2019 dct tour. I’m watching your video, I push the console forward it will not lift straight up. Is their something else that needs to be removed from under the console?
As long as the console has slid forward and tapped against the dash just keep increasing pressure with your fingers pulling up until it releases. Just make sure the console is all the way forward first!
I hope you solved that issue by now. I just did mine and had the same issues. Comes to find out that you need to raise the whole console horizontally straight up after bringing the unit forward towards the front of the the bike. The tab will not let the console to be released if not evenly raised up !!!!
I Have an 08 and even that bike has u reaching forward I am 5'9" and I needed to install risers to move bars back. U can ride the bike just fine without risers but this is about comfort. This was done because of the all day rides we do. This is why Harley guys don't like the riding position on Wings (Reaching forward). This new wing has an even more forward position? in 2 more modal years (That's when I will buy one) The bars will need to be moved back accordingly.
does this Helibar riser change the angle of the bars - this is the thing that most bothers me, that I'd like to adjust the angle, not just reach/height.
John Our adapters offers no wrist angle adjustment. Our new Horizon ST handlebar offers wrist angle adjustability independent of height/reach adjustment.
It is wired directly to accessory terminal. The algorithm of the stock wiring would not work with Corbin’s systems. Check their website for details. They offer many variations.
HeliBoy thanks, so i assume it bypasses the stock plug all together which renders the console control useless, i see it is automatically regulate though so no need for the heat control
I did this the other morning, literally over a cup of coffee. Once you get this part done, the rest is clear and easy following the included instructions. If you can change sparkplugs, you can do this. Got my Helibars on just in time for my Lake Nichigan circle tour. Take your time and good luck.
@@lance3613 Cruiseman's Garage has a install video for the shortcut access to the console for the foglight switch and installation of Honda and Socalmoto fog lights. Did it myself and all worked perfect. Buy Socalmoto harness if you plan one buying any of their other products, I have their Cowl Lights and their Sequential LED light bar, otherwise it is a direct wire contact to the positive terminal in the fuse box.
Hi Frank It’s a Corbin Fire and Ice touring saddle. We custom ordered it with light gray Italian leather seating, black carbon fiber sides and no piping.
Hello Mr Honda We have not made the commitment to be there yet because we’re not sure if our new (2018+) adjustable handlebar system will be ready in time. There will be at least one vendor selling and installing our bar adapter.
Hello video will definitely help me to install my helibars this weekend . Where did you get the printout for the cover that needs cutting to cover the wires ? Thank you
Hi Stephen The console can be a bit of a bear to remove. Make sure the console is all the way forward, clicking the dash, and pull straight up until it pops off it’s mount.
@@harryeddy2208 thanks. I was able to get it when I gave it more force. It just looked so much easier in the video and I was afraid to pull up with to much force.
Oscar Rivera I would believe you could install the fog light switch this way. The idea is to be able to take the console off like heliboy did to get to the underside. I’m installing fog lights in a few days. I’ll let people know.
let me know how it goes. i will install the fog light when i get back from Memphis Tn, I'm riding from NC to Memphis on 13 Aug should be back on 17 Aug
Oscar Rivera Did the riser and fog light install today. First off, thank you HeliBoy for your tutorial. This saved a lot of time and work for the install of the risers and fog lights. Because I was able to get to the underside of the console by following your video I only had to remove six other parts for the fog lights; Fog Light Covers (2) Lower Cowels (2) Front Inner Cowl Front lower Cowl
@@heliboy8342 went on amazon and order an assortment for very little money, way cheaper than wing stuff or honda. have used some already. Just a suggestion. Same say with replacement screws. Damn bike eats both.
I have only done one install that I can remember. The airbag model doesn’t have a door to open that assists in grabbing the molding, that needs to be popped out, but it can still be done.
Thanks Robert! I’m just about to order the Helibar adaptors - I find that with the Honda setup I’m always leaning a bit forward and possible developing a slight knot in my neck...
David Morgan you will be pleased with the result after installing the Helibar adapters. This was the same problem I had before installation and these solved the issue for me...

It has cruise control, put it on cruise & move your hands where you want
Thats what I do too.
Hmm you say After a proper saddle... what saddle is proper? I bought the risers.... I'd love to have the proper saddle too.
Corbin for me
Ref the seat, where any additional wiring hookups needed or was it a straight swap for the stock
It is wired directly to accessory terminal. The algorithm of the stock wiring would not work with Corbin’s systems. Check their website for details. They offer many variations.
HeliBoy thanks, so i assume it bypasses the stock plug all together which renders the console control useless, i see it is automatically regulate though so no need for the heat control
mike The Corbin seat has it’s control on the left side of the saddle. Easy!! This seat is a game changer for me. Took a good 1000 miles so break in.
HeliBoy yep, i saw that, should get the seat just in time for storage lol
Let me know if there is an easy way to put a trunk rack, looking for that as well, video would be great
I wish you would have shown the entire install. This is really helpful but the whole process would be even better
I did this the other morning, literally over a cup of coffee. Once you get this part done, the rest is clear and easy following the included instructions. If you can change sparkplugs, you can do this. Got my Helibars on just in time for my Lake Nichigan circle tour. Take your time and good luck.
You don't need the whole install, he shows the hardest part, all the rest is just following the instructions from picture 14 on

What seat did you put on your bike?
Hi Frank
It’s a Corbin Fire and Ice touring saddle.

Hello Doug, it’s a Corbin and I love it all day, day after day. It is pug n play with the factory heat!
Don’t listen to the “hard as a rock”
What seat do you have on your wing?
Hello Howard
It’s a Corbin and our bar adapters and SST adjustable handlebars bars were designed with this saddle mounted. I Love It!!

2-3 weeks after options were decided but that was much earlier in the season.
Hi
How are you all frnd
Aie need jop now I'm work in uae only honda goldwing
Came to see FULL install. This is disappointing. The video title should be changed.
I’m betting with the airbag model - this short cut is a no go
Good question Dave, I don’t know🤔??
I’ve been waiting for this question. I haven’t had the opportunity to touched one yet but I want to.
