Default PYO Monkey Bar Height Question

Hey All,

First, thanks for the help! I'm looking specifically for info and PICTURES of 10" and 12" PYO Monkey Bars.

If there are other Forum strings that have already answered this, appreciate the link to those and the help.

But, I've tried to find those, and have been unable to get "exactly" what I'm looking for.

What I'm looking for: I want PYO Monkey Bars; I want pullback to straighten out my back (have Corbin seat, OEM bars, and am 5'11"); I want to keep/use the mirror on my fairing (just got chrome mirrors with painted inner fairing).

I'm thinking 12" so I can have the look of the 10" (by look, I'm referring to the slight ape look but not too far above the fairing...not sure I like the ape look above Street Glide fairing), but the extra height that I can pull back for the comfort of extra...pullback.

Thoughts?

Please, please...if you have pictures, please provide. They speak volumes!

Cheers,
Skippy

12's work great if you want to keep the stock mirrors...

10" and you can't use fairing mirrors.

I have 10's on my SG. You do have room for the stock mirrors but it is a little harder to see out of them. So I just mounted mirror up top.

I just installed 12's and the stock mirrors work Great. I personally do not like the look of bar mounted mirrors if the bars are at or above the fairing That's just me

I have the 12's on mi street glide and I can use the factory fairing mirrors just fine and I am 5'8" tall and they are right abut shoulder height. I have a buddy that have a street glide as well but put the 10's on his and can't really use the factory mirrors on his. Here are some pics of mine
