[QUOTE="sapest, post: 1376402, member: 29340"] Had the Helibar on my 2012, and now have the MV on the 2016. The Helibar has more 'up and back', takes longer to install, is not as clean an install, and will make the bars hit your tankbag on full lock parking maneuvers. Mine would honk the horn, or hit the starter button, depending on which way I turned. The MV has almost the same 'up', not as much 'back', is easier to and makes for a much cleaner install. Havent hit the tankbag yet. (But the 2016 has moved both the horn and the starter.) Handlebar vibrations are worse for me with the MV than the Heli. Still trying to find the right bar end weight. 8 oz has helped a bit. I dont miss the lesser 'back' of the MV as much as I thought. (I am just 6', with a RDL in their recommended position, which I cant recall if thats the high or low seat position) I can tell there is less 'back', but its not bothersome. Both products let me match my natural hand grip angle to the handlebar angle. What would I do again? I would use the MV on a Gen II to eliminate the tank bag issues, and the Heli on a Gen III, as the horn and starter buttons have been moved. YMMV And good luck with your choice. [/QUOTE]
