I gave up on yaffes when they told me 8 weeks back ordered, and that to get the bars not even finished, just bare metal, would cost me an EXTRA $30. Screw them.

Got a deal on some la choppers prime apes, 16's. Just got them on tonight actually. If you're going with a 1.25" bar and not a 1.5", you'll want to invest the $100 in a CVO throttle. I found it impossible to use my factory throttle harness.

No prob. Search for the thread "apes/tbw issue" I posted in there the part numbers you'll need for the CVO throttle swap. Oh and if you're not depinning your connecters before passing them through, you'll want to hog out the slot at the base of the prime apes, it's pretty small. A deburring bit on a dremel did me just fine.

Yaffee outsources his parts. Most of his stuff, to include his bars, are outsourced. Not saying it's bad just saying it's how they do it. With that in mind, his supplier may not be able to keep up...
