Yaffe Monkey Pics Please - Road Glide
I just finished doing a few early winter mods like painted inner, chrome & black front end, and PM contrast cust wheels on my 06 RG. I am thinking about doind some 10" black monkey bars now and was looking for someone who is running these to post a few pics maybe? I currently have the heritage bars on the bike and i guess HD measures them at 11" tall with quite a bit of pullback so i am thinking the yaffe 10" monkeys with less pullback should be very close.
Anyhow pics would be great and ayone with a comparison from heritage to monkeys for comfort too. I know they are a expensive set of bars but damn they look cool!! Thanks in advance guys!

I've got some Trask Performance 14" apes (similar to Yaffee bars - see signature pic below) on my '07 RG. They are very comfortable. I used to have wide glide bars, but the apes put me in a better riding posture. One suggestion - if you have any question about what height to go, go on the higher side.

Looks good thanks for the pics!! I like the look of the taller bars but am really not wanting to change the cables or brake lines. The yaffe 10's dont need and of that changed so thats why i am leaning that way. Thanks for the pic

Thanks KaponeWKYA..... but those have to be the 12's at the very least. I have seen the a side pic of the 10's and they barley stick over the fairing it looks like. Yaffes site also says all stock cables work with the tens so i assume yours must be the 12 or even the 15 high maybe. This pic with the Rg on the left is the 10's and they definetly look shorter than yours do..... but yours looks great though!

Thanks! Maybe you're right, but I've been telling everybody they are the 10 inch bars. They definitely look taller than the pic you showed, but maybe mine are angled different. I did get new lines/cables from Yaffe because I didn't want to run the stock black with chrome bars. If I had it to do over, I probably would have gotten the black bars...but I'm still happy with the way it looks...

Prolly a stupid question but, is the measurment of the trask bars the grip height or the top point of the bar? I know the trasks drop about 2 inches from the topmost bar point. IF I were to get a 14 inch trask would that be a 12 inch grip height and 14 inches to the topbar point or 16 inches to the top of the bar and 14 to the grips...???
