Looks like the wrist angle is flatter. I have the WO Chubbys and my right wrist starts aching after a couple hours so maybe the wrist angle on those are my problem. :nixweiss: Does anyone know if the Yaffe 10's have a flatter wrist angle.

I just rode up to WO Chubby's today and bought some 12.5" traditional bagger apes. I also looked at their Reapers, and the Yaffe's have a flatter wrist angle than both. Very close to the Reapers though. The Yaffe's only have 9" of pullback and the traditional WO's have 11". The Yaffe's just did not work for me. Felt good on short rides, but longer rides they are not comfortable. Too low and too much of a reach. I guess I will be selling them.

That's a shame Red nose , not liking them after all the work you put in fitting them,
But yep pull back is paramount in my book, back rests on any seat can only work if your back is 90 degrees or more, if your leaning forward to reach any bars then backrests are as good as useless, you certainly need rise and good pullback to get you in that relaxed posture for back rests to work ,then any fatigue in neck and shoulders will disappear also.

Interesting you found wild ones to fit, when I spoke to them they said they cannot get the bend correct and tight enough to fit the cvo 2015 street glides onwards!  :)

My CVO Mirrors came in, you definitely need new mirrors with 10s.  Used the Harley mirror blanks but may put some Round medallion on since the stock mirrors left some scratch marks.

I dropped off my WO577's for powder coat yesterday. They told my the 575's would not work, but the 577's (12.5" traditional bagger apes) would. I took some measurements last night, and the with Yaffe's pulled all the way back the closest part of the grips are only 8" from the inner fairing. The pics I have seen of others WO577's, the grips appear to be further away and the bars are not at an extreme angle. Wild One told me the 577's are meant to be pulled back, where their Reapers (the same as the Yaffe's) are not because of the way the bars are shaped.  Hopefully they work out...

Looks good. I used the LA Choppers round inserts to fill the holes. They look pretty good IMO.

Put the WO577's (12.5") on yesterday. they are very comfortable. I have them pushed almost all the way forward, but they have enough pullback that my arms are slightly bent. The width is also much better (not nearly as wide as the Yaffe's). I am running Perfomance Machine mirrors upside down, and they seem to work pretty good. I have some 1" extensions that I might try. Right now I get just a little bit of my thumb blocking the top edge of the mirror. I will post some pics later. I wish I would have went with these bars to begin with.

The dealer actually threw in new braided cables for free. They did not feel comfortable rerouting the stock cables, and when I picked the bike up they were on. Since they did not quote me cables, they ate the cost. Supposedly you can go up to 12" without them though.

I am also 5'10" and the pull back is perfect for me on the WO's. I am very happy with them...
