RooLoo,

Fantastic looking bike. Re the kill switch, my Helibars fitted with no clearance issues, although the kill switch is within 1cm of the screen clips and I have standard screen clips plus an MRA double bubble screen. So your screen clips are probably the difference.

PS - what camera are you using ?

...yep, Puig screen clips are different from stock clips...
...a Puig screen is also a very tight fit, and I can remember I had to pull down the fairing a bit in order to get the screen in place...



...and this is the camera I'm using : click...




...took the S out for a trip this afternoon, and I must say, those Helibars just add the right amount of comfort to the bike...!
Have a nice day !

fitted up the Heli-bars on Friday, took the bike for a lurch around on Saturday... what a difference the bars make! (thanks Dave) it's gone from feeling like you're doing a permanent handstand when braking into downhill corners, to feeling comfy and some how more composed... was all a bit of a shock as I've not had a chance to ride for a few weeks, new bars, new tyres, it was all feeling a bit... well...new!

It's funny, I never had an issue with the kill switch, they muct be big clips on that fairing Ron! she's looking nice though...
