What is about these damn companys that can't use a tape measure. My HCC bar are 16" all day long, but they say they are 14".

Sorry, didn't mean to hyjack the thread, just saying.

 

If you are considering the Yaffe's I think that is the way you should go. If you are antyhing like me if you get the cycle smiths you will be sitting there dreaming about the Yaffe's and end up getting them later on regardless.

Get what you want even if it costs more if it is what is going to make you happy.

i called yaffe and left message and damn he himself called me back!!yes his bars are 1"wider than wild1 same as cyclesmiths are 1" wider to price wish 12" yaffe bagger bars 209.50 wild1 was 219.95 and cyclesmiths were 189.00 he said they measure 12" but said hands would be 2"above fairing.i think that the route i going to go so i can still use fairing mirrors.

 

Go to his website and look at the pics on the bike, the 12's will definitely have your hands over the fairing. Trust me I know !! Cool in the summer....cold in the winter !! They can call them 12's all day long but they measure 14".

 

nice to see ANOTHER option, but $342??????

plus the web site gives NO info on dimensions.... pull back? width?.....and i'd like to see a pic of a set installed

 

check out santee bagger bars just put on the 14 on a 08 sg they look mint and the price around 100.00 cant beat it

 

pics??? pics??? pics???

...i've been looking at those....... they seem like a good deal

 

+1 I run these bars on all my bikes, comfortable angles, no numb hands and they are strong no flexing, there are people selling fakes on ebay so I only buy direct from their website.

 

I think that you might find that 12" bars will block too much of the fairing mounted mirrors. With 13" cyclesmiths on my Street Glide the switch covers blocked about 1/3 of the mirrors. Lower bars will block more. Than again it all depends on how tall you sit in the saddle, and how far foward or back the bars are.

 

Yaffes are pricey but they look great. I get tons of questions and compliments on them. As others have said they are more like 14". Your hands will be above the fairing. I ride down into the 20s going to work in the winter and had no more issues with my hands than I did when my bars were low. You can use your mirrors no problem. They are very comfortable.
