Pics will come a little later.  Really adds some more visual punch to the bike.  I will say that the 10" bars make the stock mirrors useless.

Also, the bars physically seem to fit higher up towards the first bend after the mount.  This causes them to hit the lower fairing panel.  

I ordered a set of HD low profile mirrors.

Now with pictures:

Looks great!! I'm wanting to do a set on mine as well, only black. I'm just not sure if I want 8in or 10.

The new bars look great.

Now, what to do about those mirrors...

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.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the reply. This is the way to go. Like the 12" bars a lot. My next question is? I wanted to get hold of a set of Black powder coated bars, but I see in you post you have a set of Chrome bars for sale? do you still have them? The second question is what exactly will I require to make the change over ie cables etc. As I mentioned earlier I live in the UK, so do not want to make the expensive mistake of maybe ordering the wrong equipment and paying through the nose for it with the UK Import duties etc. I wont tackle this myself so will probably use a friend of mines shop to do the work. But they look great on your bike plenty of attitude!!. I also like to do a lot of miles per day as I cover a lot of rallies in Europe sometimes around 600 miles plus a day. Are the bars comfortable.

I have just sold my 2010 Spiced Rum, and loved the whole bike. Only real mods I done to that were to Install a Thundermax Tuner, & V&H pipes. Bike ran like a dream.
Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks,

Alan.

Alan,
 No problem with the questions.
 I have already sold the other bars. Sorry. They were chrome also. I have seen some of the black ones on eBay in the past.
 I had to change the clutch line (ours have a hydraulic clutch) and the brake line. You will need a adapter for the clutch so you can use a brake hose. There is a guy in the selling section that has one for sale  right now.
 Also you may have to extend some of the wiring. Mine was long enough with a little bit of relocating some of the connectors. I would recommend getting the wire extensions also. There is a guy on the forum here, his site name is hd-dude, name is Jim. He has a shop in California called Metal Dragon. If you contact him on here and tell him what you are doing, he will fix you up with a package. He has done a lot of these and knows exactly what is needed. It sure makes things easy.
 As far as comfort, mine are great. I could not stand the stock bars. Made my shoulder hurt. At first I did not really like the bars but I found out that it was the seat I had that was the problem. It put me too close to the tank.
 Hope this helps some. Give me a shout if you need more help.
 Take it easy.

He is just a guy on here that has his own shop. He does not advertise though he is a moderator.
 Here is his phone number, 510-885-9471.
 I just suggested him to Alan because he helped me out. He is a great guy and very knowledgable.
