Default PYO Monkey Bar 10" done

Hello all,

i've mount my new bar (thanks again Dr VTWIN) this week-end with my best friend. I went with the 10" because it look what i wanted and saw on this forum. It take us 5 or 6 hours including wiring and some beers...

I read lot of threads for the 10" and 12" (+6"/+4" on cables etc), when i began to mount i didn't where i was going but in final i say : it doesn't need anything. Clutch and throttle cable works, just route it well and let them free in the fairing. For the OEM brake line, it work!!

I really enjoy this ape even if it's my first one because of two reasons : first THE LOOK and second i have now a "power steering"

yes mister and i've done it. In the fairing cut the plastic necklace of the clutch cable and it work without problem. For the throttle, you have not and for the brake line, a pic is under to see more.

hope it help you to choose this bar

those are so sweet looking. i want to add them bad, but i'm intimidated by task, not sure if i can pull it off....where would you put it on a scale of 1-10.

what are you going to do with the holes where the fairing mirrors were?
