Default Yaffe Monkey bars install
I am going to install 12" MB on my 2012 SG. I have read alot on what and what not to do. Lots of opinions. I am looking at Magnum clutch and brake cables. Namz for wire extension. Are these good quality brands? Doing it myself because I want to, but want quality parts.

You don't need anything other than the Bars some new poly bushings, a clutch cable size P-clamp and a one piece top clamp for 10's. For the 12's the wires should be plenty long but you will need at least a new clutch cable.

I did 12" on my SG without wire extensions. I used magnum cables too and would recomend them. Poly bushings are highly recommended too!

Eastern Performance for the Yaffe's, I bought 13" Prime Apes from Cruiser Customizing because I have read more people liked the LA Choppers width and ease of wiring.
