I did same bars as Dave, very comfortable for me. I have 14 inch Chubby Reaper bars on my 12 Roadglide and feel about the same as the Yaffe bars to me. Putting on CFR slip ons Tuesday but in chromeBars are inch and a half. Did a bunch of upgrades when I bought bike so don't remember how much dealer charged for just the bars but not cheap as they had to run the wires.

Thank you! How much did that run you and did you do it with HD? Also is that 2" bar?A 1.5 bar. Bars are about 400. I can't say on labor as I negotiated it as part of my deal on the bike. It did require longer wires and cables for brakes and clutch.

Very comfortable bars. This is the 4th bike I have run these Yafee 14" monkey bars on. Both my king and street glide have the now.

Some argue I should not have them too high due to the cold weather and your hands are not protected from the wind what is ur take on that? I am not a tall person 5 8 and everyone tells me I should not go higher than 12". I never even driven one with these bars are they easier to ride with or something I have to get use to?

Anything over stock is going to put your hands in the weather so I think its more about what feels comfortable to you. Really no right or wrong answer. My brother in law is around 5.8 (so he claims..) and he likes the stock bars on his CVO Roadglide which I hate.

Noticeably so. 60 is comfortable with light gloves on stock bars. Hands are very cold at the same temperature with these 14". That is why I had heated grips done at the same time.

For me the comfort of the 14" out weights the fact my hands are in the weather now. Low 30's yesterday and I went for a ride.
I am 6 foot 1 inch. I can ride the MSF box with these bars. That is important to me as it means no issue with a U turn a public road, no need to stop and put a foot down, just ride the U turn.
12" may be a better fit for your. However the bars can always be pulled back some towards the rider, which lowers hight a little and helps on reach.
