Replace Yaffe Monkey Bars or Change Things Up?
So . . . my Road King tipped over in the trailer the other day and my 16" PYO Monkey Bars got tweaked pretty bad. They're going to need to be replaced. I'm trying to decide whether to get another set of those same bars (which I have really liked) or go with something different. I thought I'd throw it out there for discussion.
I have really liked the Monkey Bars and I get many compliments from others. They, of course, are 4-5 weeks out on shipping them, so that's something of a factor. Another factor is the installation difficulty. I have had a short in my left side lights for about a year which I think is the result of damage to the wires during installation. I'd like not to repeat that.

Here's a thread with pics of the bike with the current bars (before last weekend). https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...road-king.html

Check out the 1.5" Buky Bars. Really nice.

The 1.5" diameter is much nicer and looks a lot meatier.

I love mine. If you like them and are comfortable with them I would stick to them. If u go to another bar it might feel fine at first but then you may end up being uncomfortable and hating them and then be out of some money from the new bars and still have to order the Monkey Bars. Just my personal opinion. Plus I like the fact not everyone that has apes has the Monkey Bar style bar. They are little more different and unique for what others have.

I think the 16" Yaffe's look pretty damn cool. Look at it this way, you already know you like the bars, you already know how to put them on (eventhough it's a pain), and you mentioned that you really like them. On the other hand, you don't really know what you would go to instead, whether or not you'd like them, how to install them, and how long the wait is for shipping (might be shorter or longer). I'd say, stick with what you know and like, order another set of the same...either way, that's a nice looking bike.
