The money bagger bars are really nice. If I had a bagger I'd have them for sure. Cost is a sticker shock thing for me for anything related to the bike. I run Carlini's on my softail which are $350 so close behind. I ahve learned over time that if I get what i wnat the first time i will actually save money as eventually I will end up getting what I want down the road. Just my opinion. Be prepared for a wait for these bars. I can get them for you too.

they do make 10's, and I'm in the process of installing 12's as well as powder coating my front end. I have no riding it yet but they are on the bike and at 6'2" they felt amazing even if i was just sitting in the garage. Yes they are expensive but seem worth it. Yaffe will also tell you you need a one piece riser top clamp to install these bars safley. I made the mistake of not purchasing his Supersize Kit, but I would def recommend it. Let us know what you decide!

Those bars are sick...! Love em.
I couldn't agree more with this comment. Years ago, I put 12's on my Fatboy. Wished I'd a gone with 14's. When I bought my RK, I was thinking 14's, listening to comments like this.... & my previous experience... I went with 16's & they are perfect. Sooooo glad I went with taller than what I was planning. In the long run it was less expensive that way

I installed my 10" bars myself - - not rocket science....only needed to extend the wiring - still using stock clutch and brake - when you extend the wiring - stagger the solder joints to prevent bulk....use corn starch(very slippery) to ease the fish thru - if I was running only with the stock touring seat, I woulda gone with 12" to keep my arms where I like ....but I usually run a gunrunner, which sits me an inch or two lower. That said, patience is key....when you run the Throttle cables, fish the harness with it, you will find life easier - here's some pix....oh yea....I love 'em...

I am in the process of installing them now. I have never worked on a bike only cars. I have taken my time and took pictures as i took it apart. I have a good 10 hours in it so far and I need to install the brake line and clutch and I will be done. I have no idea how one would pull the wires with the welding cable that was supplied from pyo
We used a titanium weed eater string. Run two sets through your bars so after you pull the fly by throttle you can pull the other wires. Without having to try and fish something else through. Sprayed lots of silicon down the tube before pull-it through
If you add the wire extensions. You will get real good at soldering.
Hint: cut your wires a few iches above you pin. You need a good inch or more of wire to place them in the molex connector. A couple of my wires were too close and they almost wouldn't lock into the molex connector
