No, they were the 10's. I replaced them with WO515Bs where were 10's as well. Later I learned what most people learn when dealing with Apes...go higher.

Performance Machine grips BTW.

Those are PM renthal grips. I agree with apes, when in doubt go higher.

I am a shorter guy and I had pull back bars. I still had the pain in my neck and upper back. I switched to the Monkey Bars. No more pain. And how can you get sick of the look of the MB

This decision is driving me nuts. 5 months thinking about new bars and still can't pull the trigger on anything.

What would help me out is a side shot of someone's RG with the 10" PYO MBs rolled to follow the fork line. That will tell me if the pullback is enough for my liking. Ip's shot is close to what I need, but is slightly from behind and I need a true side shot to see where the grips align with the gas cap. I am down to 10" 515b which would have the pullback I want, 12" OutlawZ which again has the pullback and look I like, and the PYO MB. I can get either WO for $125 less than the PYO, but I have an emotional attachment to the MBs. If they aren't comfortable for me though I would be pissed at that price. I do several 400-500 mile days during vacation and I need comfort more than looks. So does anyone have some pics to share?? BTW I am 5'10" with moderate arm length on a C&C seat which has me down and back from stock.
