I don't understand why Yaffe told me these bars wont work on my 16 RGU...he also stated they will hit the fairing, but I see you guys have them installed, do the bars hit the fairing?
Johhny,
I didnt have any isues with the bars hitting the fairing on my '17 Ultra Limited. Keep in mind, you have skme flexibility with rolling the bars away from the fairing. I installed the 10" bars with no issues. Hardsst part was feeding the wires. Good luck
Well, I didn't have any issues and have the bars rolled to where they are comfortable for the RGU. I can't really open the glove boxes without turning the handlebars one way or the other, but that's the only issue. Bars feel great and make me want to ride hard!
Any one running these bars on a 15 and newer road glide? If so can you post pics and comment on how you like them? Possibly some pics with you on the bike showing the riders position. Do they hit the inner fairing at full lock being lower than stock?

Love 'em! Much more comfortable and better looking than stock bars. Yaffe was a joy to deal with. Brady was extremely helpful. He pre-wired bars and shipped them to me. This made install a breeze. Yaffe is one of the best.
I installed the bars myself, the connectors fit through the bars no problem. Actually a very easy install; I installed Factory47 10" bars, FXR Division 12" bars and now Monkey drag bars. The Monkey drag bars are keepers as they feel great and handle great, no more shoulder pain since they are not very wide. Hands are completely protected from wind, which is great when riding in the cold.
Really like you bike! I own one myself in Red Pepper. This is a very informative thread as I am considering the same bars for the same reason most have expressed. Couple of questions; is there any fairing interference with full turn left or right. Do they limit access to the storage compartments. Taken any long rides with them and if so how do you like them. I know comfort is subjective but what is your opinion. I also noticed the color matched pillion plug in your rear fender. Is this something you painted or purchased. I ride solo 99% of the time and have the black plastic HD one installed.
On Yaffe's website they mention the following: NOTE:2015 and later Road Glide Ultras and CVO Road Glides will require the purchase of the standard control clamps from your H-D Dealer
Any idea why that would be required???

I've been running them for 2 years now on my 18 RGS, love them!!
they do not hit anything, though if you rolled them all the way forward you can get them to hit.

No, mine fit right up without changing the clamp. I'm pretty sure the 16 CVO had the pin in the opposite side but mine worked no problem. Maybe looking at the wrong bars, as they have different versions and that one was for pre-rushmore bikes.
I want these bars but don't want to do the fairing lowering. I'm just confirming those that put these on a 15 up RG did Not lowe fairing correct? Also I run a HD windsolitter 12" anyone have these with a taller than stock touring shield. Thx
I didn't lower my fairing on my roadglide special but I did learn to open the glove boxes only when the bars were turned since they won't open without hitting the bars. I ran a couple LRS shields in heights above 12 inch but found using the stock shield worked the best for me.
