When I got my 2015 RGS at the end of October, they ordered (while I was present) some Yaffee monkey bars. While other makers have been shipping for weeks now Yaffe said maybe end of Jan. Dealer called today for an update, Yaffe said they have no record of an order. So I ordered a nicer (IMO) pair from Factory 47 today. Made for 2015 Roadglides, here in the USA, some guys I know got theirs in a week to a week and a half. Don't know if Yaffe are coming from China, reason he's so far behind the others like Vindikta etc., and others who have bars ready to ship. Guy should run a tighter outfit.

These bars are notched for the pins on 2015's.

Guess I better have the dealer call today and find out the status on mine.  Sure hope its not another case of Yaffee having no record.  I was also there when Sampson called and order mine.  I hope I do not have to look into other bars.  I really like the wrist angle on the Monkey Bars. 

The factory 47 look nice, only saw the one model for the 15 RG.  I wonder how close the grip angle is to the Yaffee, and the grip width.

Yaffe is real good at design and marketing....but as for manufacturing, supply chain management and customer service he has a lot of room for improvement.  I have dealt with them on a few purchases and I have learned to only purchase if the part is in stock.

They seem to have no visibility when part are going to be available.  They have been out of stock of Black Monkey bars and black wedgy lights for over 10 weeks now.

Checked with Yaffee yesterday.  My bars are shown as on order.  Expected delivery 8 more weeks. 

He sure has no customer servers.  Been this way for years.  If I did not like these bars so much on my last SERG and on my current SERK I would get something else.

"The factory 47 look nice, only saw the one model for the 15 RG."

Dave, Factory 47 will make whatever you want. Web site shows only 14" chrome, but they are making me 12" in gloss black. Was told week and half. I'll let you know the grip width and other dimensions..

Cool, do let me know.  May cancel my yaffee order if these will work.

I ordered a set of Yafee bars from a company in Texas 1 1/2 years ago. Got them in a week but they were scratched. I called Yafee and they sent me a new set that day without question. All they asked was to send the old set back in the same box.

You have to understand, they didn't verify my original order at all. Didn't even question it. The guy on the phone simply put me on hold for a minute to check if they had a set then took down my address.

For me, that was exceptional customer service.

Yaffee didn't have a TV show 1-1/2 yrs ago.

You must be the rare case.  First time I dealt with Yaffee was for a Stealth plate frame.  Said it would be a week, a month later I got it.  Next time was for 14" Monkey bars on my 12 Skunk, told 6 weeks, 10 weeks later I got them.  Next was for the stealth plate frame for my 13 CVO King, told a month, and got it in three weeks, but it came in powder coated black, not the chrome I order, two weeks to get that exchanged.  Next time was for the 14 Monkey bars for the King, told 4 weeks, 8 weeks later I got them.

Now I was told when the order was placed the end of February.  Called monday and told 8 weeks, so again 4 weeks past what I was originally told.

So for me, five different orders over 3 years, four times delivery was much later than I was told, and one time the wrong part came early but by the time the swap was made it was late.  They do not return phone calls.

If I did not absolutely love the 14 Monkey bar, he would not get my business for it.

I like my Wild One's; but handlebars are such a personal thing and costly/time consuming to install that you want to make sure you get the ones you want.
