10 PYO Monkey Bar, comfortable and badass look. I didn't want my hands too much above the fairing. The bar is a little bit expensive but you won't regret it...

 

thinking real hard about these bars. are the stock mirrors out of the question and do you have these rolled back away trom the faring at all? thanks

 

I will tell you what just about everyone that puts apes on for the first time says. Go bigger than you think you want. I was going to go with the 10" monkey bars but wound up with 12s. I absolutely love them but if I were to do it over again I would go 14" or maybe 16". And yes, they will all be a little different. I have 12s and a buddy has HCC 13s and mine are significantly taller, his are wider. You really need to check them out at bike nights and rallys. Each brand is a little different in height, width, and hand position. Even when they claim similar measurments.

 

Agreed, I also have 12's and they're the same height.

 

I went with Santee's and love them, not to tall and not to short. Love them and wouldn't go to anything else.

 

For all with 10-12" bars, do you get tired after longer rides? I had a set of 12" apes on my Sporty, and I always got tired. Might have been the angle they were at made it harder to hold on, but just curious.

Also, does the fairing still function as it would normally? Keeping wind/bugs off your knuckles? What about fairing mounted mirrors? Speakers still work normally?

 

12" monkey's love them!!

 

Quite the same questions, I am really interrested by the Yaffe 10" M.B. and would like advises on riding comfort for long haul and if the stock fairing mirrors stay usable?

Thanks.

 

I have the 12" monkeys still have the stock mirrors. Have 25,000 mi with them no discomfort on long ride. stock bars killed me on long rides

 

I became more comfortable after putting on the 13's. And yea if I had to do it over, I would go higher
