With the Yaffe bars it takes what it takes. Patience is a virtue and you usually need it with these.

Patience is a virtue . . . it just doesn't happen to be one of mine.

I've heard everything from 4 weeks to 4 months, so I was just trying to get an idea from forum members what their current experience is.

Thanks all

Cyclesmith's appear to be a good handlebar as well, so I would not rule them completely out. Besides that Hill Country Customs sells them in complete kits, including extended cables and brake line, but I heard that their cables are cheap, but I'm sure you could upgrade to Barnetts. When I can afford it I will probably go with Wild 1 575's for the handlebars and the Kuryakyn blind spot mirrors. That will be another $350 right there plus another $couple for cables I'm sure. It's always something...and with HD it's not any longer a hundred but several hundred. LOLOL..

Question

Not to hi-jack your thread, but are the bars that PY is sending out what you ordered, I have heard that some have ordered 10's and got 12's and ordered 12's and got 13/14"'s.

Just asking?

Got them installed, brakes bled and clutch cable adjusted.

Let's just say that the throttle side took my 50000% longer. I think there was a burr or something in there giving me fits. 4hrs with help from my wife. What a pain in the fkn ***! Some words of advice. Stick with Baby powder, the vaseline will cause the electrical tape to come undone and you'll be swearing alot

Only issues I have now are the handlebar controls. When the grips are pressed all the way on, and the controls pushed against them. I have about a 1/4" gap between the controls and the part where the bar is thicker. Using Avon Grips which I'm sure are the same size as any other grip? DO they may longer grips to push the assembly in further?

I'll get it outside and take some pics today. Need to suck some tranny fluid out. Guess it wasn't completely empty after changing the clutch. 1 can made it over full.
