I am about to pull the frickin wires on a set of 12s. Were you able to use the stock wires or did you need the extension kit? I am removing 16s and going with 12". Yaffe said to go +8 but that looks to be too long also, what did you end up using? I still have throttle cables.
Suggestion for the grips that came up short, use a tubing cutter and trim that amount off the tip and it will sit flush against the stop.

You can use the stock length wires with 12s. Just reroute the plugs inside the fairing to under the radio. +6 cables and brake lines will work fine.
Monkey Bar wiring length
The bars work with grips that match HD grips. I found that out with a set of Ness deep cut grips. They left a 1/4 inch gap. HD grips were perfect. PM grips are perfect. Nothing wrong with the bars. If you trim the bars you will have to re notch the TBW side.

I just realized I never updated this thread. So since it has been revived I'll provide closure:
I called Yaffe and they hadn't had this occur b4, but understood. They said they would be happy to make me a special set with end to end chrome. A month or so. They said they would be happy to take back the first set of bars even if I use them while I'm waiting on my new ones.
I did ask Yaffe on the phone if, since they were doing a special job for me anyway, they could make them as 11's. Thought I'd split the difference between 10 and 12 and they might still stay close enough to the fairing to make me happy aesthetically. Nope, no-can-do. After 14 months I guess I feel the same way now as I did then: 12's would've been best comfort-wise, but 10's are best aesthetically. 10's are leaps and bounds better than stock in every way. I am still planning to do the FBI Drop Seat that will give the effect of raising the bars.
