Post by: SG Racer on April 16, 2015, 12:29:17 PM: I have the same bars on my 2011 CVO Streetglide. I have a 2005 CVO Electraglide and I put 13 inch Cyclesmith bars on it. The Yaffe bars I really like, but I waited for ever for them to come in and they never did for the 05. I decided to go ahead with the Cyclesmith bars. I like them also.
As far as the Yaffe bars go, they can be a pain in the butt to get the wires through. They do a terrible job on the inside of the bars. You will have to replace the front on piece brake line and the line up to the master cylinder. You will have to also replace all the throttle cables.
They say their bars are 12 inch but they are really about 13.
Holler if you need anything else.

If you go with Yaffe bars check the holes and chamfers as I have seen sharp edges that needed some addressing. The bars look great when installed.

No, the bars are the same diameter as stock with no steps so, no problems.

Thanks in advance.
