Default 10" PYO monkey bars and fairing mirrors??

Do they work together? I dont have the bars yet, and I am going to get my inner fairing painted this week and want to know if I should have the holes filled and find handle bar mounted mirrors. I kind of like the fairing mirrors with the stock bars, but not sure if they are usable with the apes.

I can only speak for myself, but I have the same bars and my hands are DIRECTLY in the middle of the mirrors. Going to fill in the holes and do bar mounted mirrors this winter

Default Mirrors

You'll hear both really. You can only answer for yourself. I can only speak for myself but my fairing mirrors still work. They actually work better now than they did with the WO575 bars they replaced. For ref. I'm 5'9" and have the bars rotated almost all the way forward. I didn't want to go with the 12's and be above the fairing...

From what I have read, most everyone with 10's can't really retain the use of fairing mirrors. 12's seem to be the smallest that let you keep the fairing mirrors.

Will the stock clutch and throttle cables fit with the 10's?

As I've read, they will. But you must do some rerouting of the clutch cable and the wiring, but they say there is enough wiring to make it work, so long as you reroute it.

I just installed the 10" PY Monkey Bagger Bars and I still use the stock mirrors...it is not ideal, but they are still useable. I just lift my elbows a little and can see just fine. YMMV

m.a.c.
