When I was trying to decide on what size bars to put on, I had a forum member give me some great advise.  He said: "Always go one size taller than what you think".  I was originally thinking about 10" Yaffee's, so I ordered 12" and I'm glad I did.  Jesse is right, the 12's are like 13's.


What the mirrors brand ? And from where did you get it ?

With 10's you will need to relocate your mirrors and find a "button" to fill in the mirror bolt holes because you cannot see out of the mirrors.

With 12's you do not because you can still see your mirrors.

I'm 5'-8" tall and 145 lbs. Basically your average little skinny guy and I love the 12's. They fit me perfectly!

Before you buy a set of bars I suggest sitting on a few sizes. Either way you'll love the height over stock.

My mirrors are cheap Yaffee knock offs.  I think I paid 30 bucks for them through an online vendor.  I considered that a much better deal than the high dollar Yaffee's.  Yaffee probably gets his the same place I got mine.

I had to put mirrors on.  I couldn't see anything out of my stock mirrors when I put on the 12" Yaffee bars and I'm 5'10".

I honestly can't remember if mine are 10" or 12"??(it's been a few years since I swapped them)  I am on the short side (5'6") and I can see fine out of my stock mirrors. (I think they are 10")

You should listen to CowboyBagger's advice! I would also suggest getting bar mounted mirrors... you can see much better with them all around over the fairing mounted ones. Forget getting 8 inch... at least get 10's. Then if you get the 10's you will wish you put on 12's.  :oops: JMHO

If you contact Magnum Shielding, they will fix you right up.  The new line from them will come in two pieces.  Just in case you put on taller bars in the future, you only need to buy one short line.  If my memory is right they were 48" and 19" lines for the brakes and 71" for the clutch side.

Looks like 12's. I had 10's on 2 diffrent bikes and they sit behind the fairing. Bars look good. :2vrolijk_21:

These are 10's...

Do the 10 inch bars come closer to the rider?  I need I think 2 inches closer to me.
