Well after I made that last post, I watched the install video for the Illium risers and discovered how easy they are to install! You don't need to removed all the bits on your bar ends and re-install them on the new ones like with the Helibars. I'm just not sure I like the look of the Illium risers better.
Good points. "The look" of the Iliums bothered me a little at first. But now I have had them on my two RTs for years and I do not even notice "the look." Moreover, when I am riding I do not watch the handlebars -- I am watching the road.
