2006-2007 BMW K1200GT Installation Instructions
Repositions the stock handlebars 1” (25mm) closer to the rider from their tallest adjusted position. No height adjustments are possible with the HR adapter as it maintains the tallest bar position. Heli Bars are designed to safely increase your riding comfort, however it is imperative that these instructions be followed to ensure correct installation. Failure to follow these instructions could result in improper installation and create a dangerous control situation.
NOTE: It would be beneficial to take several digital photos as reference. Disassembly of the stock bar component and installation of the Tour Performance HR adapters require torque bits, a 6mm hex drive and a 13mm socket or wrench to remove safety nuts.
1) Place a soft towel or large clean shop rag over the fuel tank Remove the plastic cover on the rear of the handlebar casting that covers the adjustment hardware. (See photo 1).
2) Remove the two 13mm hex safety nuts (see photo 2). None of the stock hardware except the two washers will be reused.
3) Remove the two wire loom clamps located on the outside of the bar castings below the master cylinders. This allows extra slack in the control housing wire looms to ease installation of the HR adapters. (Photo 3).
4) Loosen the two screws located above the ignition switch that allows adjustability of the stock bars and remove with washers. The bars are heavy so be ready to gently lay them down on the fuel tank. Note that you will be dissembling several adjustment components. In order from the fuel tank side there will be: 1 tee nut, 1 flat omega strap, 1 spring from each side, and from the front side the safety torque head screws and washers. The washers will be reused but not the screws. Refer to photo 2 for component clarity.
5) Place the Tour Performance HR Adapters lower square bosses with the single threaded holes into the lower handle bar factory mount. The Tour Performance logo will be visible and can be read from the front of the machine. The adapter will only fit one way. Use two of the M8 socket head screws provided and the two factory washers removed earlier and reinsert as per the original setup. Torque both M8 screws to 12ft lbs. (Refer to photo 4)
