Batwing and handlebar height question

I have 12 inch OEM Monkey Bars on my RK, thinking of getting a Memphis Shades batwing. My question is, will the bars be above the fairing?

Just curious; hoping you guys out there with batwings can show how high your bars are.

Thanks!

Call me stupid, I am used to it but no such thing as 12" OEM monkey bars on a Harley. That being said, I had 12" KST Kustom Mayhem bars with a Memphis Shades on my Road King and had no issue. That being said I since crashed bike and have a 13" Reaper bar going on which is much closer end to end so should be even better.

Your grips should be a couple inches above it,
it is on a stock fairing

Actually, Yaffee sells "OEM Monkey Bars"

Never understood how an aftermarket product can be called "OEM" but that's what they are called.

These are my 10" Yaffe bars, and there pulled back. I would say yes, your 12's are going to be above the fairing.
