Default Heli Bars versus Cycle Cat bars?

I love my Triumph 675, but it would be better if the handlbars were a little higher. I've seen bars from Helibars and also from Cycle Cat. Has anyone tried these? What do you think? Is it worth the 300 bucks?

Also I've heard about Gilles bars, but I can't find anyone in the US who sells them. Do you know where I can look at those in the US? Thanks

I had Helibars on a Kawasaki I used to have, and they were great. Good quality, and they made the bike more comfortable to ride. They were not adjustable, tho, so you might want to think about that.

I really liked the Cycle Cat bar risers I had on my Duc Sport 1000, they are very adjustable for height and angle. A bit pricey, but really well made. They didn't look right with the retro-styled Sport 1000, but they worked really well and would probably look good on most sportbikes. In the end, I traded them out for Ducati's riser bar kit.
