opps. no pins on the CVO controls. but there are alignment dots on the bottom side of the bars. You are not supposed to exceed the limits of the dots. I have went past about an 1/8" on mine and check the wire clearance going thru bars plenty of room. But you may want to check to insure you are not pinching wires.

Rob,

The pin is an easy pull.  And as stated no pins for the hand controls, just alignment dots. 

Plenty for room for the cables with out pinching them.

The 15 non CVO Road glides have pins for the handle bar controls in addition to the one at the handlebar clamp.

Thanks WJS!

Thanks Dave. I thought I heard or read somewhere there were pins in both. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm assuming if I pull the pin, I can put it back if I want the original configuration?

Yes you can Rob, I still have mine in case I want to go back to original although that is highly unlikely as I hated the original position. It's pretty straight forward.

Thanks mate!

Well, I have had it waiting on Yaffe Monkey Bars.  Was Told middle of February originally, then end of February, then end of March, and yesterday was told End of April.  At that point said never mind. 

Love the Yaffe OEM monkey bars 14", had them on two bikes, still have them on my 13 King.  They just lost another customer.

Ordering Factory 47's in 14 for the 15 Road Glide.  Was told 10 to 15 business days......

I took delivery of my RG last fall installed Yaffee 14", I know they hadn't built them yet but as I have a machine shop I did some mods to have a great fit. HAve the TP Off now as well working on plate relocation I think I will place it just under the fender will post when done.

Very nice, looks good.  That is cool you could modify the older bars to make them work.

I have waited for Yaffee bars each time.  But the last two times they said 6 weeks and I had them in 8.  So I was fine when they told me 6 weeks 8 max.  Its about 14 weeks now, and Yaffee can kiss my......

They were the first to claim to have bars for the 15 RG, but they still haven't delivered, every one else has been delivering.  Hope I like the Factory 47's which use to be Burly Bars

Those look great! Any more pics of the bars from other angles?
I've installed Yaffe bars on batwings, and they were a real pain.  I bet the extra corner on the Road Glide version would be even worse!
Most Installers tell me they won't work with heated grips. How was your experience?

I didn't see the wires for heated grips on those. Nice video though.

[bordercity CVO]

Good Morning, heated grips work fine, have had no issues at all sharp angles were better Yaffee has instaled radius half tubes in the shapr points made pulling wires much easier. Here are a few pics also fabricated new bracket for plate relocate that doesnt cover my CVO Emblem.

Here is a Picture.

After doing some miles with my bars forward I am not a fan of the wrist angle and would prefer a slightly shorter height as it is not comfortable over longer distances. Manouvreing at slow speeds in car parks etc is made interesting by my jacket sleeves catching the ends of the bars. I don't want taller bars as my days of apes are way behind me.

Have found some adjustable ones with a couple of vendors but they are ridiculously priced for a once off adjustment and have long wait times. Klock werks have an ergo bar with a better wrist angle and a more standard height for batwing rushmores but not the roadglides just yet. Hopefully they will produce some soon.


If anyone knows of someone who is making something that fits the 15 SERGO with less wrist angle and an inch or two lower than stock I would love to hear about it.

Cheers Tom

I picked up my CVORG last weekend and didn't like where the bars were either. so when we got home took dash off and pulled the pin out and moved the bars to where they need to be, now I can see out of my mirrors and feels a lot better as well.
