I love my Monkey bars! I will tell you once you order them don't hold your breath! Mine took 4 months to get. I ordered them in mid February thinking I could put them on before riding weather was here. Finnally came at the end of may and did not give me the correct brake line parts with there supersize kit so I had to order a line from the stealer. If I were to do it over I would just get the bars from Yaffee and get my own lines etc... That being said I would not trade my monkey bars for anything! I get lots of compliments and love the ride!!!! Good Luck!   

Those look nice. What size are they (height)?

Mine are 14" Monkey bars. When I sit on the bike my arms are straight out level with my shoulders. Perfect IMO.

They are fine with the 12.5", had I done the 10" I don't think I could've used them?

Rerouted the stock cables and they are fine also all the wiring was long enough with the exception of one 2 wire connector. It actually wasn't used but I extended it anyway in case I need it at some point.

I did get impatient and didn't wait until my heat demons came. Now they're here and I don't think I'll use them as pulling the wires was a major pain I don't wish to repeat.

You were able to use the Stock Cables and Wires with the 12.5" bars??

I just picked up a set of 10" today from Yaffe's shop here in Phoenix.  Trying to determine if I need to invest (additional $370 for the kit) in the new cables, etc. or if I will be able to use the stock cables and wires.

DO NOT BUY THE CABLE KIT.   I purchased the cable kit for  ~350 bucks,  and ended up only using the throttle cable for my install,  and it was really too long.  other issues ...  you dont need what he offers in cable kits ...  Happy to share the part numbers for what i received ... cheaper if purchased seperatly anyway,  and as mentioned,  they did not fit my bike.  happy to sell my leftovers if anyone wants them.

I just installed the yaffe monkey 10inch bars on FLHTCSE 04.  

just a few notes for anyone interested in doing the install.


1) bars did not fit right off,  I had to mill the risers down ~3/8 of an inch for the bars to fit the fairing. This added more space between the radio and riser cap too ...  good forprevention of  radio issues.
2) you dont need the color coded wire extentions ( will sell mine if you think you do) its a no brainer to do it without them.
3) had a lot of trouble fishing the cotrol wires through the bars.  if you have issues,  i can share how i did mine. just ask.

4) i like the bars alot ...    happy to share pictures if anyone is interested, but there are already many on this post..
