Default Yaffe monkey Bars

I have some 12 on my bike, but I want to get some taller.

reached out to Yaffe, but can not get them to call or email me back

I heard a rumor they are back ordered for 6 weeks?


Any one know what gives or where I could find these?

I bought a 2013 SG in March. Was having Yaffe MBBars installed before I picked it up. They came in and were apparently scratched and dented to the point where they were not salvageable (still sounds a little sketchy to me). Went to order a new set...backordered 6-8 weeks. You know that would turn into 10-12 weeks so "F that noise" I went with the Harley bat wing mini apes and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised.... and $200.00 bux less. Bought the edge cut mirrors with the difference.

There are listings on ebay, I don't know what bike you have so I couldn't post a link. Just do a search or go to this store, they have them. http://stores.ebay.com/americanclassicmotors

The quality isn't there with Yaffe. China made. Enough said. IMO

Yaffe customer service is lacking.... to say the least. Try Eastern Performance or American Classic Motors. Both are reputable and GREAT customer service and good chance they have them in stock. I ordered my 10" MBB from ACM and had them within three days.

I did not know they were made in China... That really kills it for right there..

SO, I need some bars now that look like the yaffe.. I like the points on top..

LA Choppers looks to have some bars very similar.. Wonder they are made here .. and Can get them to me with out too much of a delay?

I think it is strange that you still want to purchase over priced bars from a company that is giving you poor service.

There are other companies that produce great bars for half the price and actually answer the phone and return emails.

Heard a lot of bad things about their service. That being said, they are bad *** bars. Unfortunately around my hometown, every Tom, Dick, and Harry has them on their bagger now. I'm looking elsewhere. Good luck~!
