Hi,
Do you have any pictures of the 12" bars on youre bike. I am just about to order from Yaffe, and have them sent to the UK. Any advice on cable extensions along with some pictures would be great. I intend Installing them on my new 2012 model CVO Street Glide when I get it?

Thanks.

Just for info, I ordered mine from Dr V Twin. They had the 12" black powdercoated in stock and were cheaper than direct from Yaffe. They also had all of the cables made up for me by Magnum shielding in New York.
I was advised against the Yaffe kit as its apparently not so good.
Whole lot arrived in the UK in just over a week.
All being fitted next week so I'll post some pics when done!

Definitely recommend Dr V Twin. They've been great with all the orders I've given them.

Plasma Daddy,

Thanks for update on Yaffe bars. I am just about to order some this week. I am Interested in were you got your bars & extension kit from. Time scale sounds excellent as well. Keep me updated on Install with some pictures once completed if you can.

Thanks.

Been thinking of doing this mod as well on my FLHX2. Anyone have an idea how tall the bars need to be to keep and utilize stock fairing mounted mirriors? I'm 6'2" with 34" inseam. Theres no where around here that I can find to "try them on". Thanks in advance.

As I see it .. if ya do the 12 ".. you will get above the mirrors and be able to look under your hands to see the mirrors.. The 10" seem to be in the way .. Jus sayin .. I am putting 12" on this week and intend on putting a center mount GPS bracket instead of the left location .. the monkey bars almost block the line of view when it is on the left .. will let ya know how it plays out ..

Cool, thanks

Hi,

Does anyone have a part number for Centre GPS mount? I am also Installing 12" bars and would prefer GPS to be mouted in middle of fairing instead of left hand side position.

Called at Dealers today in UK, and he could not find any details of this mounting item?... Has any one got pictures of this Installed on bike.
Thanks.

There isn't an HD part for mounting center fairing.  There's two choices offered.  The left side inner fairing mount or the handle bar mount.  Any center mount would have to be from a third party, if there is one, or your own fabrication.

Here is a pic of a bracket I jus did and will put on this weekend as a center mount GPS.. It is gonna mount with the wind shield on top of the inner fairing with some neoprene underneath so as not to rub .. I use a 3bag windshield bag. and it will be under it and up close to it on a slight angle for better view.. I liked this idea better than the moco offering for the left mount which will be somewhat behind the Yaffe monkey bars .. will update the install as it happens .. sooon ..  your thoughts welcome .. sorry for bad color as it was taken on poker table .. LOL

Looking forward to pictures.  I always thought the gps should be in the middle too.

Any pictures of the Install of the 12" Yaffe bars yet. Ordered mine last week and expecting them in UK next week some time.

here is qwik pic with phone showing 12 Yaffe bars with center mount GPS .. I am gonna redo the bracket for GPS so as to raise it up to clear the speedo/tack gauges.. Also .. after getting it all done , I see the fairing mount mirrors are somewhat obstructed by the hbar switches.. Sooo I will be replacing them with tribal mirrors from moco..
   One thing I didnt notice while unpacking the monkey bars was ... These dam things come with ATTITUDE.. so far Im really pleased with the look and handling/comfort .. but thats jus my opinion .. it may vary , depending on individual driving habits.. LOL

Fantastic !! Like the look and position of the 12" bars. You have done a great job of the Install. Any advice or any probelms you noticed that I might find when doing the Install on my bike would sure be appreciated?..

Did you get the full kit from Yaffe, cables and extension kit or another aftermarket dealer. I have seen that a few people on the forum have mentioned getting shipments from else were. I Called Yaffe yesterday and looks like my parts will ship tomorrow from USA.
