Where is the best place to buy 10" Chrome Monkey bars. Looking to get a set for my SG, and whatever else I will need to install them.
Thanks

I found mine on ebay in stock. What made you choose 10"? The reason I ask is because I was going to go with 10" and after sitting on a bike with them determined I wanted to go with 12" ones. I just liked the bar position better and that you can still use your stock mirrors.

I'm choosing the 10" because I didn't want the bars to be above the top of the fairing (not windshield) and from looking at some other member's rides, it looks like the 10 ' come right to the top of the fairing.

If I'm wrong someone please correct me. I'm going to order on Monday.

Now when it's cold i just get gloves that cover the sleeve of my jacket. I think what it comes down to is you either have to the bars or the mirrors sticking above the fairing.

They do just a little but I'm 6'1" and slouch when I ride. If I sit straight up they are about even.

What are you running for exhaust, and how is the sound?

I got mine from Dr. Vtwin. Had to wait. I initially wanted 10s for the same reason as you plus I thought I wouldn't need to change cables. I wound up going with 12s and am so glad I did. The cables are easy. The hard part is pulling the wires and that is the same with the 10s. You can use the stock mirrors with 12s. I think they look much better.
Here's a link to a pic of me riding. I am 5'10".
