Default Yaffe Monkey 8" Bars

Just install the Yaffe Monkey 8" bars, look good and great fit. There a few inches taller than the stock bars and my hands are just under the fairing.

14 Limited? Do you have the finished product picture? I'd never seen someone with 8" they always seem to go with 10". And your hands are below the fairing? or even with the top edge?

How's the pullback for you ? I want to go higher but do not want to loose pullback.

Yes 14 Limited, the bars are 8" Yaffe Monkey Bagger bars, they may measure a little differently? my hands are behind the fairing but any higher they would catch the wind, actually the morrows kinda deflects the wind down on my hands.

The bars feel different, your wrests are more straight like when you hold your arms straight out, this is better for me. It loos like i can pull back another 1-2 inches before hitting the tank, have not tried yet its a pain to get to the bolts.

And what happen with the Black Bars?
Went with the chrome, very nice quality looking bars.

They look good, and if they are comfortable, total win.

Very nice...Looks like the right bars for me also, not above the fairing & looks good. Thanks for the extra pictures of that.

No worries, i did have to use the (69200034 Switch Wire Extension Kit) notice the bag has (69200035 REV A) you may need to check that i do not have the receipt.
Also running the wires through the bars and around that sharp turn is a pain, i used vaseline and it worked, the first set of wires is not bad but the second set is tuff, i think the rubber coverings kinda sticks to each other. This took 1/2 the time of the complete job, oh an maybe get a tool specifically to remove the wire pin connectors, you dont have to have it but it would be easer.

Good info on the wires....Hard to go get them after the bars are off.
