Pictures please Red nose when it's done,
I too don't want to go any higher than 10" or else it brings yours hands above fairing and into the cold wind, kinda defeats my heated grips then! I've had tall 14" apes before and they are great,just don't want them on this bike, I think also 10" bars will allow you to reuse stock cables and the stock mirrors.... Am I correct in saying that to those folks who've dunnit already ?
I just want 2" more rise and 2" more pull back than stock, anyone whose got 10" yaffes fitted I'd sure appreciate your views...Ride free brothers !
Hey Wild Hog. I have the 12" Yaffe with heated grips, and although I wouldn't change a thing... I love the looks and comfort. You are dead right as far as your concern with cold. I was already aware of this since I had them on my old street glide. I just wore heated gloves on that bike. This bike I get by with good gloves and the heated grips. They do get a bit cold still. I have recently gone on a few 3 to 5 hour rides where the temp has remained below or at freezing. The sun was out though so we were riding!!
Good luck with your choice.
BTW. Just remembered. I had both of my bars powder coated to match, but interestingly the pair I bought about four years ago was black. When I brought them in to get powder coated, they tested them and they were just painted black, NOT powder coat! Just something to keep in mind. They were advertised black powder coat on Yaffe site! It actually made it easier for them (and cheaper for me) since paint is easier to remove than powder, so I did not care. You have to love it!
