I'm putting the 10" Yaffe bars on my RGC and was wondering how your installation went?
Did you use the TBW extension kit? What about clutch cable length, was stock long enough? I want to add braided brake lines and clutch cable while I'm doing this.
Sif- do you have the part numbers for the braided lines you used and how much of a pia was it to change out the cable and lines

I just installed 12" on a 2010 road glide. The TBW extenion would be a must on 10" or 12". You should be able to get away with stock lenght cables. I will probably get a little longer clutch cable for the 12".

Yeah you will not need them, get your wife as a 2nd set of hands to help you out (or a friend) wiring will go much quicker, when you wire the throttle side do the tbw first, then pull the rest of the wires (still in the black stock sheath) I used shrink tubing put it on the ends of what ever group of wires I was running. Then I took some electrical wire and stripped it and used the ground wire, it's stiff enough to get through the bars, but bends easily. Anyways once the shrink tubing is on, leave about 4-5 inchs past the end of the wires, heat it up and mash it flat then fold it over a loop you bent on the wire you just stripped, then take some black tapE and wrap that junction tight at this point take some vasoline and slather up the whole mess, fish the wire to the bottom of the bars (and not where they come out at the center, if you look at your bars there are holes at the bottom of the downtubes) and start pulling, if you get stuck this is where a 2nd set of hands help out, have them Pull the other way while you Push from the bottom, that system will allow you to get those wires through the bars fairly quickly. You'll spend more time setting up then you will fishing with this tequnique. Hope I made sense, feel free to message me for my phone number, I would be glad to help, really its not that hard just tedious.
