I put 12" bars on mine.  I've never liked my hands low and this made the bike feel and handle much more to my liking.  Plus, the 12" bars did not require new cables, I was able to the stock ones.  I think it makes the bike look much better.

Bigfoot...I was under the understanding that I would have to change all the cables when putting on Yaffee 12" ape hangers. So you you just used your stock cables? If so that is great. Do you have any pics?

Bigfoot....looks awesome. I have the same bike and have been tossing the idea around. Just wasn't sure how they would look. I hate having my hands low as well. Makes the bike feel extremely top heavy in my book. Did you have to splice your cables? Or did you just unhook, change bars, and hook the stock cables back up? Been led to believe this was a nightmare job. Hence saving it for a winter project. Once again, looks great.

Thanks.  I did not have to splice, it really was not that hard.  I was a little nervous because I've never had a bike with a fairing, but once I got going it was okay.  If you do install them, make sure you put your gps on to make sure you have them set with the right clearance before you button it up.  Good luck

The 12" Yaffee's are actually 13 1/2" and I changed my cables. I believe they were +6". I bought the kit from Yaffee.

If you do it yourself just take a handful of Valiums when you start pulling the wiring back in.

I am in the process of having the LA Choppers "Prime Apes" 13 inch fitted.
They are wider that the Yaffee bars and are NOT compatible with the heated grips.
I will let you know how they feel to ride with in a few weeks........
