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?

I run the reaper 14 inch and love them

Those look great, thanks...

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 went with the yaffe bars too. . I really like them also. . Much more comfortable that what came on the rgu. Stuart

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.

I'm having 10 inch reapers in black installed 1 week from Wednesday I will post a pic when they are on. I wanted to stay behind the fairing and the 10's keep you just below according to Wild Ones😁

Steve Nor Cal · « **Reply #10 on:** May 15, 2016, 09:37:02 PM »

Looking forward to seeing the install....thanks

Neither ............I went with 14" Hawg Halters Reaper Kit,

Pricey but worth it , 1-1/2 diameter,internally wired and plumbed, Plug and Play!!!

Steve Nor Cal · « **Reply #12 on:** May 16, 2016, 01:21:28 AM »

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!

That sounds like a ton of $$$$

SneakyPete · « **Reply #20 on:** May 18, 2016, 03:11:40 PM »

I assumed you were just looking at bars only. Seems you have priced out bars, control switches, grips, etc plus a hydraulic clutch set up. Is this what you wanted?

leeekeee · « **Reply #21 on:** May 19, 2016, 04:56:58 PM »

what do you guys think of the factory 47 bars, on a street glide, maybe go the 12" and keep the fairing mirrors

Cvostu · « **Reply #22 on:** May 19, 2016, 10:14:18 PM »

You will hate the mirrors there. Promise. . Stuart

I went with BRs Custom 14" Sweeping Beaters and have nothing but good things to say about them.

Yaffe 12" Monkey Bars, I like them. If I were going to do it again I would go with BR's bars just because he will build them to the measurements that the customer provides.

Steve Nor Cal · « **Reply #26 on:** May 26, 2016, 11:50:29 PM »

The bars look great, thanks for the photo,,,,question, which manufacture is BR?
