Default Yaffe 10’s installed

So we installed some 10” monkey bars on my sons 19 Ultra, with some new grips, a little tall for my liking cause they are like a 12” evidently

extensions not needed but

People say they are hard to wire but it wasn't any worse than 3-4 other bars I've wired.

I will say that the stock heated grip was almost impossible to get into the bar...ridiculous tight, I knew if I was able to get it in, I might never get it back out, so we Installed new Empire grips and they slipped right in.

Didn't add extensions, since everything fit ok, but I would probable use 10" extensions..... just nice to have extra wire routing options

I love the bars, .... I've had 10" Wild Ones, 10" Fat Bagger, 8" & 10" Twin Peaks, and I like the Yaffes a lot but just a little shorter.

I have Twin Peaks 8" on now and might do a Yaffe set in the spring/summer

Looks good. Your son has a nice bike.I put Todd's cycle 10 inch on my bike, my hands are just below the top of the fairing. A little lower than those yafees. I've got short arms so I like a bar that is closer to stock width. I can't do those 36 inch wide bars,which is what most are. Ride safe

Very nice. I have the 12” Yaffe MB on mine. The first time I gave up getting the right side switch wire through (I had a one month old and my wife was ready for some help) but 2 years later I finally gave it another go and was successfully (surprisingly quick too).

Yeah, I have pulled 5 sets of wires and each time I pulled them a different way, this time we got prewired bars and honestly, it saved some time but not a lot, the most time consuming effort is spent getting the connectors off of the small pins, sometimes they come right off and sometimes they dont.
