RE: Update - Helibars on a 2020 R1250 RS - 3

So, I went and installed the Hornig risers for my 2020 R1250 RS and their clutch valve extension. All went exceptionally well and the adapter was very easy to install. No need to bleed the clutch line and everything working as it should. I now have no issues with the clutch cable rubbing or coming into contact with the handlebar.

I do like the look and craftsmanship of the Hornig risers better than the Helibar ones. Just a personal observation as they are both great products.

Next up, need to address the Windscreen and perhaps grip covers/protection. Need something that is not bulky or that would be to tight when turning the handlebars to full lock.

I installed my risers and the clutch extension yesterday and a Puig Touring Windscreen in smoke. I couldn't believe the difference it made no wind noise
could have rode all day upright and calm. im 5ft 8'' with an inside leg of 30 '' hope this helps someone.

I have the Illium bar back/risers, they really help my riding posture and did not require any cable rerouting, very simple to fit. I have also repositioned the GPS (Nav 5) above the clocks / behind the screen using a Hornig mount. I would do both changes at the same time and get a nice clean look and a better screen position (assuming you have a Nav V or VI). If I were doing the same job today I would probably go for the mount produced by Motomate - one of our friendly team on this forum.

A photo of how that Puig screen looks on the bike would be nice, the image on the website is not so useful.

Ill take some pictures of the screen tomorrow also with the moto mate attached.

Sorry for showing my tits in the last picture

Thanks for the photo’s DC. As with all taller screens I think they detract from the sporty look of the bike, perhaps this one less than several others I have looked at. For general riding days I conclude that I’m prepared to accept the wind noise around my helmet with the stock screen in the lower position, but this screen might be worth fitting for touring trips with more hours in the saddle and where noise starts to irritate.

I think it looks taller in the photo, also its on the top set of holes, im still getting plenty of fresh air in the lower position but I was just getting battered with the original screen.
