i tried to order them from yaffe before summer, out of stock. went to ebay and they had them everywhere. then i got a call that none of those dudes actually had them in stock either. so I went with LA chopper bars. hope you get yours man.


as for control...i love them, so much easier to ride, even slow speed

I ordered my 10" thru EBay, had them in less than a week..... I am 6' and slow speed for me took a little time to get used to them.... the bike now feels like it has "power steering". I do not believe you are just going to jump on your bike bike and ride like a pro, it's going to take your a few rides to get used to them. My advice would be to go to a parking lot and try them out. I don't want to scare you, just caution you. Once you learn them, you will love them. Good Luck, Be safe JIM

Waited a month for my 14"s. Slow speed is a piece cake. I have 23/17 combo which makes it even worse. Y'all just can't ride lol
