Default 16" Yaffe Monkey Bars - Road King

Just got my bike back with the monkey bars installed and wanted to share.










My first impression?

Wow, Those bars are sweet. I have an 02 RKC and looking at the HHI Hellraisers. Same style but all internally wired. Problem is the cost is over 2 grand... What did this set up set you back?
Ride safe,
Mike

Thanks all. I appreciate your kind words.

As for the cost, it's not so much in the bars themselves, as the combination of everything -- bars, cables, installation. I got a bike week discounton the bars purchasing directly from Yaffe. It was still close to $900 for the bars and super size kit. The install was another $360, which I think was a bargain.

Default 16".......hmmmmm

I am contemplating a 2011 FLHRC but I was thinking 14" Yaffe Apes. Have you been riding with 16" apes prior to this mod? I have 12" mini apes on my heritage, so this will be a change, but only slightly.

Problem is, I am overseas (Hong Kong), and don't know anybody with a sample bike to do a test fitting.

The install looks nice btw.
