Helibars - any good? Alternatives?

Hi,

I am thinking of getting some Helibars for my zx-6r (J2) and wondering if anyone has tried them or any alternative products. The reason is that I am getting pain right at the base of my back and think it could be the position of the bars. The only way to ease my back is to lean forward more, but that puts weight on the bars which is not ideal.

The website says that they alter the position by 1 1/2" Taller, 1/2" More Rearward and 1/2" Wider Overall. Will this make a big difference?

They do seam expensive- £150 from bykebitz (sole UK distributor), but may be what I am looking for. I fear that if these aren't gonna make a massive difference then I may have to get rid and get something more upright. This isn't something I would really want to do as I only bought it in August!

Thanks
Daesimps
