Nice! Can you still use the stock mirrors?

Im about to go from 16s to 12" PY monkey bars on my sons SG, what size cables and upper brake line did you go with? Whats on there now is +12 that will be way too long for 12s. And did you need a harness extension?

Didn't change any cables or extend any wires. Eventually i will put a +4" clutch on it so i can run it back through the hole in the fairing but as of now i was able to make everything work.

Bars look great but get a little lost against that black inner fairing.

If the inner fairing was color matched to the bike the black bars would really pop out visually.

Great job!

I used some stock night train mirrors upside down with my 12" monkey bars, works great.

Thats on the list of things to do, had to get the bars, seat and exhaust on it first. Hopefully this winter i'll get the inner fairing and put the new clutch cable and mirrors on also.

Look good. But wow those 12''s are small. I have Yaffe 12''s and they are way taller. But yaffes do run high. Looks good though

Yeah yaffe measures about 2" taller than they advertise. These are about the same as monkey 10". I just dont prefer the look of anything taller on street glides.
