Hardly ape hangers, are they? 
No different from fitting Rox risers, or Ricky bars, for that matter. Looks like an opportunity to improve the ergonomics of the 'bars. I don't know what the bars on a 1200 are like (having only ridden them for a few hundred miles), but the 1100 and 1150 standard bars are woefully inadequate - this gives you the chance to make them fit you, not the other way round.

And all for a small consideration of just £640!
I wish someone would made a setup like n the old aircooled GS that you could bring the bars a little more forward or even lower to sit less upright...
Maybe next year with the new R1300XR...
But that Helibar apehanger crap will come soon from straight from the factory when they launch the new 1800 cc boxer line to finally sink Harley...probably for 2020 !
I haven't decided if this is a good or bad thing joining the crappy cruisers to appeal to the fake tattoo,long beard and ass less chaps crowd for people who never had a happy childhood dressing up as gay pirates in cookie cutter conformity and thinking they are cool...Not !

You really need to have a look at yourself; go and have a lay down.
I think my Ricky Bars were around £350 in 2002...
At the current exchange is £441, add duty and administrative fee and you get £639
Almost purchased one of these...long time ago
