Bars---Yaffe Monkey Bars or Wild 1 Reaper bars
« on: May 15, 2016, 12:26:10 AM »

Will be installing bars on my street glide.  Like the Yaffe monkey bars.  However, It appears the Wild 1 Chubby Bars is just now producing there version in 10 and 12 in.  Has anyone purchase the 10 or 12 in "Reaper" Bar from Wild 1?

Really....they are the same looking, so the measurements are,what you should look at.  The reason I went Yaffe is because that is what I saw, sat on a bike and they felt perfect.  I sat on another street glide with 12"s, and the felt to high.  It's probably going to be hard to go to a bike night and find a set of 10" reapers to see how you like them. 

Since you are tech/tool savy and you are installing them, why not go the te reaper bars?  You'd have something new and different from everyone else, and if all else fails, install the Yaffe bars.

I just installed the HD 12" bars on my coo street glide.  Was at Panama City bikefest and sat on one with these bars.  Im 5'11" with avg length arms and these bars are PERRRRRFECT.  My hands are a little below shoulder height.  I can't even put into words how comfortable they are on the highway w cruise control on.  My motivation for higher bars was that w the stock 8" bars I found myself slumping forward a little sometimes and w the new bars I am upright.

I have the 12" Reapers and love them.  Bar manufacturers tend to measure their bars differently, so to check how they measure so you are comparing apples to apples.

Wow, Those are very nice...Just went on there web site to check out measurements, etc.  It looks like they now make the same bar for the 2014, 15 and 16 models.  I will give them a call and ask a few questions.  Thanks for the heads up.....I like the 1-1/2 and the controls.

The difference between the bars really is measurements.  I just picked up my bike with 10" Yaffe bars and it perfect!  I'm 5',9" with a 31" inseam....it feels perfect!
